Quick Greek Spinach And Chicken Orzo

    This was a very easy, quick meal. Loved the flavor. Since I'm not an olive fan I made a slight change. Instead of the olives, olive oil, olive brine and salt, used Kraft's Greek Vinaigrette dressing. Worked out great. Will definitely make again.

    Quick Greek Spinach and Chicken Orzo, This is adapted from a recipe I found in a cooking magazine I get. This is great for brown-bagging because it tastes good at any temperature, and it’s really quick to make. If you are salt sensitive, omit the bouillion cubes and olive brine not essential, but I like the flavor they add., This was a very easy, quick meal. Loved the flavor. Since I’m not an olive fan I made a slight change. Instead of the olives, olive oil, olive brine and salt, used Kraft’s Greek Vinaigrette dressing. Worked out great. Will definitely make again., Great pasta for an any night meal. Flavors go well together and quick to fix. We made the vegetarian version of this, used just a half tablespoon of oil and omitted the salt, since the other ingredients offered plenty. Used the optional capers but more and 2 tablespoons of the olive brine, which gave it a nice and different flavor. We ate this as an entree, so fed 2-3 for us. A yummy one.

    Note: If You Want to Use Only the White Meat Chicken in This Dish Which Is What I Have to Do For My Family and Your Chickens Are Small, You May Want to Purchase Two Rotisserie Chickens to Guarantee That You'll Have Enough Meat. Reserve the Dark Meat For Another Use. Serve Warm, at Room Temp, or Cold.
