Preparation Steps
- Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into ¼ inch-thick pieces and generously season with kosher salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and dried oregano. Let the chicken marinate while you gather and chop the remaining ingredients.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in an 8 or 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned on one side. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds, then remove and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the orzo pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat. Pour in water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer and let it bubble for 3-4 minutes.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet with sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Stir to combine, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes.
- Once the orzo is cooked through, season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. If desired, crumble feta cheese on top and sprinkle with parsley and dill before serving.
