Orzo With Chicken And Veggies

Whose children and husband are sick of the same weeknight casseroles and tacos? 🙋‍♀️ I know mine are.

You know it’s bad when your eight-year-old asks mid-bite, “Mom, when are we going to eat something else for dinner?”

With that blow to the heart, I tore open my recipe books and whipped up a new dish that is both tasty and realistic for the weeknight scramble of sports practice, homework, and dinner.

Orzo with Veggies and Chicken:

Feeds: 4

Prep Time: 25 min

Key Ingredients:

  • 1 box of orzo noodles
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 yellow squash
  • 1 red bell pepper (optional)
  • 1 onion
  • ½ can of sun dried tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp pesto
  • 1 rotisserie chicken
  • Feta or parmesan cheese
