Ingredients🛒
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup orzo pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions🧑🍳
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies start to soften.
Stir in the orzo and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to lightly toast.
Add oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the orzo and vegetables.
Pour in the chicken broth and return the chicken to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
Cover and cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and let it melt slightly into the dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.
