ROASTED CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE, FETA AND ORZO SALAD



Roasted Chicken, Artichoke, Feta and Orzo Salad image

Colorful and easy salad to make in advance to serve chilled or room temperature. Using rotisserie chicken limits cooking to boiling pasta. Transports easily. Has a "Greek" flavor, but not traditional. Easily modified for size of group or individual tastes. Add other vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini) as desired. I'm always asked where I bought the salad, I'm assuming that's a compliment.

GREEK ORZO SALAD

Tart and refreshing, this side salad is a big hit at Judy Roberts' Las Vegas, Nevada home. With all the tasty toppings-including red onion, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese and a zesty dressing-you'd never know it has just 7 grams of fat. "Tiny pasta called orzo gives it extra interest," Judy notes.

Greek Orzo Salad With Chickpeas & Artichoke Hearts image

Quintessential Greek flavors - feta, lemon and dill - combine perfectly in this hearty salad. To complete the Mediterranean mood, try pairing it with a Greek Retsina or a Portuguese Vinho Verde. From EatingWell magazine May/June 1996, and "EatingWell Serves Two" Dietary Exchanges: 4 starch, 2 vegetable, 1 very lean meat, 1 fat (4 Carbohydrate Serving). Posted for ZWT6. NOTE: Recipe amended to indicate fresh lemon juice and optional addition of some greek seasoning for more flavor.

CHICKEN FETA AND ORZO SALAD



Chicken Feta and Orzo Salad image

Very refreshing for a picnic or just dinner at home! Very quick to throw together and can feed a lot of people! I could eat this everyday easily!!!

Provided by Ashley S.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) box orzo pasta
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 large tomatoes, chunky dice
1 small red onion, small dice
1 (4 ounce) container crumbled feta cheese
2 -3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
1 -2 garlic clove, minced super fine
salt and pepper
1/2 cup Italian parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook chicken, I season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let cool and dice into bite size chunks.
  • While chicken is cooking bring water to a boil and cook orzo. When time is up drain and rinse with cool water to cool it down. Let drain again, you don't want it to have too much water on it when you add it to the salad.
  • In a bowl add chopped tomatoes, diced onion, feta, garlic, vinegar, oil, parsley, salt and pepper, orzo, and chicken. Mix to combine.
  • Taste for seasoning.
  • When I make this I generally don't measure my ingredients, so it may need more vinegar and oil, I like mine tart and you don't want it dry and the pasta will soak up a lot of this! After you taste for seasoning refrigerate for at least an hour to let all the flavors come together.
  • Serve!
