Mediterranean Chicken with Lemon, Olives & Orzo

Season the chicken breasts with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2 – Sear Chicken:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 4–5 minutes per side.

Remove chicken and set aside.

Step 3 – Cook Orzo:

In the same skillet, add orzo and toast lightly for 1–2 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

Step 4 – Combine Ingredients:

Add lemon slices and Kalamata olives to the skillet.

Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the orzo.

Cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the orzo is tender.

Step 5 – Finish and Serve:

Remove from heat.

Sprinkle with crumbled feta and chopped fresh parsley.

Serve warm and enjoy!
