Lemon Orzo

Lemon Orzo

1-2 pkg orzo
1-2 cucumbers sliced
1/3 purple onion diced
1/2 green pepper diced
2 chicken breasts
garlic salt
spinach (optional)

Dressing:
6 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp water
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp lemon rind (optional)

Mix dressing together. If it is too potent, you can add a little more water. I usually double the dressing and hope for leftovers to eat on any salad. It's so yummy!
Cut up chicken into bit size pieces or strips and cook in a nonstick frying pan. Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt.
Cook orzo according to package directions. Don't overcook and drain immediately or it will go soggy. Serve orzo with chicken, vegetables and dressing on top. I have used other veges as well and left others off. Our newest way of eating it is on a bed of spinach! YUM! Eat according to your likes.
