Chicken and Feta Orzo

It was very tasty

At that temperature, I feel it needs more broth. It got dried out the last 7 minutes of cooking, but the pasta was not aldente yet. It was simple, yummy and was different from our usual dinners. I used cream cheese in place of feta because that is what I had on hand.

Made mine on top of cooker in one pan delicious

How much shredded chicken breast would you need? (Sometimes difficult to get rotisserie chicken)

I added 1/4 cup of 33% cream, sliced mushrooms, finely diced red onion, red pepper chili flakes, Italian and Greek seasoning, and grated parm. You can easily leave the chicken out and use veggie broth to make it vegetarian. 👩‍🍳 I cooked it for 20 min, stirred it and cooked another 25 min. I then put grated parm on top and back in for 5 min. Once done, I added a little more finely grated fresh parm and chili flakes. For olive lovers, I added some chopped kalamato olives and he loved it! This is going in the monthly rotation 👩‍🍳

An easy crowd-pleaser!

So easy and so delicious!

Taste was good, but recipe calls for too little liquid (especially if you don't use common pastas made of semolina flour). Comes out very dry if you don't add more liquid in some way and any alternative pasta will become mushy (i.e. chickpea pasta). I'd try it again with some changes to compensate for the dryness and use standard orzo or a different shape. Definitely use a pan bigger than you think you need to make mixing easier.

Used ground turkey. It was very tasty. Needs more veggies!

Really great one dish casserole! I used 2 chopped chicken breasts, and added sliced black olives (maybe kalamatas next time!) I probably will increase the spinach and tomatoes as well!

This was flipping awesome!

A really nice taste to it overall. We added a bit of lemon juice/ zest which worked well with the other flavors. Would’ve been fine without as well. It might’ve been the brand of orzo we used, but by the time it was done it had lost most of it texture and overall the dish was a bit mushy. It might be best to cook for 15 and 15 (like someone else suggested) to check the texture.

Smells amazing and tastes great.

I couldn't find feta, so I used boursin and halved the recipe. It was great!

So easy and lots of the ingredients you already have so also very cost effective!!!! Will be a go to for sure. I may add some lemon next time :)

More spinach and tomatoes next time!

We loved this dish. I tweaked a few things that, for us, made it even better. Based on a previous note, I added some 2% milk (we didn't have heavy cream) to make it more moist, and threw in some frozen peas (added a nice "pop" to the mouth when you eat them), extra cherry tomatoes (as in someone's earlier note) and some diced mushrooms. We used a deeper baking pan since these added items would have overflowed the usual 9x12 pan we usually use. I baked for the full time specified in the recipe, as the added items also needed that time to fully cook. Finally, I used a block of feta cheese as per the recipe but next time I think I will use the crumbled feta as that would be easier to stir when you have to take the casserole out of a very hot oven. We give this recipe 5 stars.

Used a little less chicken and added some heavy cream. Next time I want to use more tomatoes

Probably would cook it for 15 then 15 as was a bit claggy

Made it with Salmon instead of chicken, best pasta ever

It’s good definitely a winter meal tho

Came out a little bit dry but was tasty

This was delicious! I had jasmine rice on hand and I added some roasted red peppers 😃, will definitely make again.

Thought it was super easy and had a great taste! Will make it again!

Great quick & easy meal. Chicken could easily be substituted for shrimp.

I did 1.5 cups orzo bc that is what I had on hand. Adjusted the broth to 2.5 cups. Turned out great. We liked the ratio of orzo to toppings with this change.

Great recipe! I used reduced fat Feta because that’s what I had. It was delicious

I think the orzo could have been cut in half. Too much pasta not enough sauce
