Chicken Veggie Orzo

This is the best. Allison and Brad (I think Brallison has some potential) made this for us at Starry Nights this weekend and I had to have more. The recipe is about 250 calories per cup and it makes 10 cups. It is 5 ww points per cup. I know I say this all the time, but it tastes gourmet and only takes like 15-20 minutes to make.

What You Need:

• 1 lb. Box of Orzo
• Small Rotisserie Chicken
• 15-25 Grape Tomatoes 
• Bunch of Green Onion (or 1/2 small red) 
• 1 Avocado
• 1/3-1/2 cup red wine vinegar (to your taste)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Greek Yogurt
• Squirt of Lemon Juice
• Salt and Pepper to Taste

What to Do:

• Boil Orzo (takes about 9 minutes)
• While boiling, chop veggies to desired size. (I did about 1/3" for avocado, quartered the tomatoes, and finely chopped the green onions. I did not use the whole stalk, but only bottom to 1/2 way up.)

• Break apart the chicken, discarding fat and skin.
• Drain pasta, mix in veggies and other ingredients to your taste!

When in doubt, add more veggies!

Finished product!

Notes:

• I think this recipe is good served hot as a main dish or cold as a pasta salad.
• If you want to make this a vegetarian dish, use less vinegar since the chicken mellows it out a lot, or use more avocado.
• A little yogurt goes a long way, so don't think you're doing yourself a favor by adding the extra love.
• I think this would be good with some steamed asparagus or zucchini added into the mix. Allison said any veggies you have on hand are perfect!
