This easy-as-can-be main dish is likely to become a summer staple at your house. Itâs that good! If you prefer, grill the chicken breasts instead of cooking in a skillet. âFran MacMillan, West Melbourne, Florida Ingredients:
3/4 cup uncooked orzo pasta |
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 medium cucumber, chopped |
1 small red onion, chopped |
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, onion, parsley and chicken. Drain pasta; stir into chicken mixture. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Pour over chicken mixture; toss to coat. Serve warm or cold. Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 4 servings.
