This is the perfect summertime meal: Not too much effort; it can be eaten warm or cold; and the flavors are sensational.
Marinade –
Mix first 7 ingredients (yogurt through sherry). Add chicken and marinate in refrigerator for several hours to overnight.
Salad –
Cook orzo in boiling water for 7 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain. Combine with olives, cucumber, feta and onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour into orzo and stir to mix.
Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Then thread chicken onto skewers. Grill until chicken is done (10 minutes or so). Serve over top of orzo salad.

I didn’t try the chicken but love the orzo.

This looks amazing. I’m “Eating Clean” and this totally qualifies! Yeah! Can wait to defrost the chicken and get started.

Made it last night, thought it was great.
Modifications: used regular black olives because I couldn’t get kalamata w/out a trip to another store; left out flat leaf parsley for the same reason;
made a total of 12 oz of orzo because the original 8 oz I made still didn’t look like enough for all the cucumber, feta, and olives in there. Plus, I like plenty for leftovers. :o)
My 13 yr old daughter and my husband both really liked it, too. This was a fairly unusual dish at our house – I had to buy curry spice, if that tells you anything, lol.
Great!

I made this for my husband and two boys last night. YUM! Everyone loved it. We will be making it again soon.

I made this last night for dinner and I thought it was delicious! My husband loved the chicken portion, but wasn’t as wowed by the orzo salad. I loved it. He dubbed it, “a very womanly dish”. It was a perfect, summer evening meal.
