Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken with the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the orzo: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Grill the chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.
  4. Assemble the bowl: In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, feta, and parsley.
  5. Serve: Top the orzo mixture with the grilled chicken slices. Drizzle with extra olive oil and lemon juice if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize the bowl with other veggies or proteins like shrimp or lamb.
  • To make it gluten-free, swap the orzo for quinoa or zucchini noodles.
  • The dressing can be made creamier by adding Greek yogurt for a richer texture.
