Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo

This was fairly quick and easy and very tasty. I substituted Parmesan for the Romano and dried oregano (1/2 - 1 tsp) for the fresh marjoram.

I would make this again. Great flavors. Next time I will use more tomatoes (both sun dried and fresh) because the sauce didn't quite produce enough to cover the chicken and orzo.

I had to use marinated artichoke hearts. My store did not have frozen ones. Otherwise, I made it exactly to the recipe. It is a DEFINITE keeper.

Great evening meal! After reading a few negative comments, I had my doubts about this recipe but I liked the ingredients so I decided to give it a try. I followed everything but I used a handful of cherry tomatoes, oregano instead of marjoram, parmesan cheese, and balsamic vinegar. The sundried tomatoes did come in oil and the artichokes were Italian fire roasted. With these substitutions I followed all the directions. Yes the chicken takes longer to cook than it suggests, but other than that I thought the recipe was brilliant and delicious! There was a lot of flavour from the sundried tomatoes and garlic. I loved it! Because I used cherry tomatoes the sauce was rather wet, so I just let it simmer a little longer. If yours was dry, try perhaps adding more water? I will definitely make this recipe again as it had all the right stuff in my opinion! I also sprinkled on some chilli flakes onto my portion - perfect! Pros: Very Flavourful and easy to prepare

Disappointing Dish This dish was a big disappointment. I made it exactly as specified and it had no flavor. Adding a bunch of salt and pepper to my portion did not help at all. I will definitely not make this again! Pros: looks pretty Cons: flavorless

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.

Great without changes I did not double the sauce or halve the pasta and thought it was great with the sauce lightly applied. Some may consider it dry but this is how I was served pasta in Rome. A very satifying dish. Pros: Rich and flavorful Cons: Pricey ingredients

Too much marjoram I made this recipe based on the many positive reviews and as others suggested I doubled the sauce. The dish came out fine but I found that the fresh marjoram I used overpowered all the other flavors. Instead of sprinkling on marjoram at the end, I would substitute for flat-leaf parsley if you have it or leave off all-together. Probably would not make again. Pros: Easy to make Cons: Flavors don't blend

SO GOOD! This is so good! I just finished my plate and I want more. I didn't have any artichokes, so I left them out. I can only ever find sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, so I did what a previous reviewer did and used the oil for my cooking. I also took everyone's advice and made extra sauce. I'd previously had a bad Orzo experience, so this time I followed the directions exactly on the box, and it turned out great. It was delicious, especially the zap that the red wine vinegar adds. I can't wait to have more of this! Pros: the vinegar flavor, easy, short cooking time Cons: None that I can think of

Not bad, not great This meal was ok. I substituted spinach for the artichokes, and part-skim mozzarella for the romano. It was a decent, easy to make, weeknight meal. This is a "pantry" dish, for sure. And tho I may make it again, I am in no rush to do so. (If I do make it again tho, it needs more tomatoes because the sauce was just not enough.) Pros: Satisfying Cons: Boring

Made this last night. Husband raved about it. I would also double the sauce and increase the garlic. Also think it needed a big pinch of salt. Used regular orzo as I don't care for the taste of whole wheat. Really a delicious dish. The chicken could also be grilled instead of pan fried. Yummy. A definite make again
