New Month! New Casserole Recipe: Feta, Chicken, and Orzo Oh My!

New Casserole Recipe: Feta, Chicken, and Orzo Oh My!

Happy November! It’s a brand new month and I have a brand new casserole recipe to share: Feta, Chicken, and Orzo Oh My!

I was telling a couple ladies about it in person the other day and they asked for the recipe. It really is easy, fast, and a crowd pleaser. This isn’t an original recipe but I have made it my own. Feel free to make it your own as well.

I have also made this without the chicken and added it in later.

This is also an easy dish to make vegetarian. Change the stock/broth and leave out the chicken.

This dish makes about 7 servings. If you’d like the Myfitness Pal breakdown, please let me know.

Ingredients for Feta, Chicken, and Orzo Casserole Recipe:

1 box of Orzo pasta (I like the bigger size of of pasta)

1-2 cans of chicken stock

1 bag of spinach

1-2 boxes of baby tomatoes

1 block of feta

Italian Seasoning to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste

1-2 lbs of Cooked Shredded Chicken

Directions:

1. In a large baking dish (likely 9 x 13) spray with non-stick oil lightly.
2. Pour in the orzo.
3. Place the block of feta in the middle.
4. Add tomatoes.
5. Add spinach.
6. Add cooked shredded chicken .
7. Add seasonings to taste.
8. Pour in the broth making sure all the orzo is covered.
9. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes. Give it a stir, break up the feta.
10. Bake 425 for another 20 minutes or until the tomatoes start bursting.
11. Enjoy!

You might notice many of my recipes say 1-2 pounds, or 1-2 cans. I do this because you might want to add in more protein than someone else or make a smaller half recipe. I tend to add more protein than an original recipe calls for.
