Time 1h1m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ pound uncooked orzo pasta
¼ cup olive oil
⅓ cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
¾ teaspoon dried basil
¾ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup grape tomatoes, cut in half
¼ cup black olives, cut in half lengthwise
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 grilled chicken breast half, diced
2 red bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
4 sprigs fresh oregano

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the orzo, and return to a boil.
