Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Orzo
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes). Stir occasionally.
Grilling the Chicken
- While the orzo is cooking, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Preparing the Vegetables and Dressing
- While the chicken is grilling, chop your tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Combining Everything
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, diced grilled chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese. Pour the dressing over the top and mix well.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the dressing separate until ready to serve for best flavor.
