Summertime in the City

Tonight for dinner I made Summertime Orzo and Chicken, a recipe Michael recently made for me.  It is yummy!!  Plus it is fairly quick to make, which works for my busy life.

Summertime Orzo and Chicken

3/4 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-in. pieces
1 medium cucumber, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (I like Italian parley)
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese (or queso if you wish)

Cook pasta according to direction.  In a large skillet, cook chicken over medium heat until it is no longer pink.

In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, onion, parsley and chicken.  Drain pasta, stir into chicken mixture.  In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper.  Pour over chicken mixture, toss to coat.  Serve warm or cold,  Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese.
