This recipe is absolutely amazing! There’s no words to describe it. I have nothing I can compare this recipe to, because there’s really no recipe like this one. Just trust me: if you like Greek food, you’ll love it!

Ingredients:
1 & ½ cups of dried orzo pasta
2 Tablespoons of salted butter
1 Tablespoon of oil
2 pounds of chicken
6 Tablespoons of olive oil
6-8 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons of dried parsley
1 & ½ teaspoons of salt
Pepper to taste
5 oz of grape tomatoes
1/3 a cup of red onion
4 oz of feta cheese, broken into pieces
3 Tablespoons of fresh dill
Spinach, if desired
Directions:
Boil water. While waiting for it to boil, cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, dice the red onion, and quarter the grape tomatoes. Set aside. When the water boils, add some salt, then the orzo to the pot and turn down the heat.
Place butter and oil in a pot and place on medium high heat. When butter melts, add chicken and cook until the largest piece is 165F°.
While the orzo and the chicken cook, stir together olive oil, lemon juice, dried parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Drain pasta. Add to pot of cooked chicken after removing the pot from the heat. Stir. Mix in the tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and dill. Add dressing mixture and mix again. Add spinach, if desired, or serve the dish on top of the spinach. (Or if you’re like me, I don’t like spinach and so I don’t use it!) Enjoy!
