I love this recipe! It’s in my regular rotation and always satisfies. I use tomatoes instead of olives in the orzo and it’s still great. My husband asked me to make extra next time so he can take it for lunch. Can’t think of a better compliment!

I’ve had this recipe stashed away for months and finally had an opportunity to make it for our July 4 cookout. It turned out great! It was easy to put together, the marinade kept the chicken juicy and the orzo salad is a great complement. I’m looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch!

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.

I don’t see what amount of chicken to use? Any suggestions?
