Here's an easy way to make leftover chicken and half a box of orzo into a meal. Just add some fresh veggies from the fridge (I meant to add kalamata olives but I was out!) and a few table spoons of your favorite dressing (with this dish I like a citrus vinaigrette) salt and pepper and you're done. It makes a great meal or a side dish. The best part is the tiny orzo pasta doesn't take over like larger shaped pastas tend to do. Enjoy! XO Martha
