Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo

From EatingWell: March/April 2008

Sun-dried tomatoes and Romano cheese pack a flavorful punch along with the tantalizing aroma of fresh marjoram in this rustic Italian-inspired dish. Serve with sautéed fresh spinach or steamed broccolini.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I made this for dinner last night and my husband and I just LOVED it!!! Next time, I will double the amount of sauce and cut the orzo in half. There really was a lot. I doubled the garlic and could have tripled it. I had no artichokes...

Chicken in 10 Minutes?

I don't know what kind of chicken can be cooked through in 3-5 minutes per side . . . doubled the cooking time. The tomato sauce was a bit watery as well. This is what I would do next time: Brown chicken on both sides. Remove from pan, add sauce to pan. Return chicken to pan and braise for 25 minutes. Remove chicken, add in other ingredients, serve. This would combat the watery sauce and the undercooked chicken.

Pros: Simple, Flavorful

I cut a few corners to make this easier by using rotisserie chicken and just adding everything together at once instead of all the layering. I think next time I will use a more substantial pasta as the orzo got a little mushy in the reheating.

Outstanding!

I cut the recipe in half, used 3 oz of Orzo for the two of us, and used a 6 oz. can of tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of sun dried tomatoes, 1 plum tomato, used balsamic vinegar for the red wine vinegar, and added 1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning (the sugar levels from using all sun dried tomatoes was not condusive to our low-sugar diet). This was absolutely fabulous!! Very delicious; my husband and I loved it & will make it again!!!

Pros: Healthy, REALLY tasty!

Lower carb adjustment

This sounded really yummy, but I don't eat pasta, so I dropped the orzo and artichoke hearts and mixed the sauce with spagetti squash instead, then topped it with the chicken and sauce. Everyone seemed to really like this lower carb alternative.

Would not make again

The "sauce" was not very good and I could not come up with a way to fix it. I am not sure if it was the sun dried tomatoes or what but it just did not taste good.
