Chicken and Orzo Salad

This is another recipe from Semi-Homemade and what we are having for dinner tonight!


Chicken and Orzo Salad

1 16 oz package orzo
1 c light olive oil and vinegar dressing
3 T reduced-fat pesto with basil
2 c shredded cooked chicken
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 8 oz block feta cheese, cubed (I am using low fat crumbles instead, and only 4 oz)
1 6 oz bag fresh baby spinach
1 4 0z jar pitted kalamata olives, drained

Prepare orzo according to package directions, drain. Rinse with cold water to cook quickly. Drain well. In a small bowl, stir together dressing and pesto. In a large bowl, combine cooked orzo, chicken, tomatoes, cheese, spinach and olives. Pour dressing mixture over orzo mixture and toss to coat. Enjoy!
