Makes a great side dish.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

1 pound Dried orzo

1/4 cup Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

1 can Diced tomatoes drained

2 tbsp Finely chopped fresh oregano

2 tbsp Lemon juice

1/4 cup Fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth

4 oz Feta cheese, crumbled

4 oz Smoked chicken breast, shredded

Preparation

1. In a 6-8 quart pan, bring about 4 quarts of water to a boil over high heat; stir in orzo pasta and cook, uncovered until just tender to bite (10-12 minutes). Or cook according to package directions.

2. Meanwhile, drain sun-dried tomatoes, reserving 1 tbsp of the oil. Cut tomatoes into thin slivers and place in a large bowl with spinach and diced tomatoes. Add oregano, lemon juice, broth, cheese and chicken. Add the reserved tomato oil and toss to combine.

3. Drain pasta well and add to chicken mixture; toss to combine. Serve warm or cold.

Cook's Notes

Smoked chicken breast is available at gourmet markets that carry specialty deli meats. You can also substitute cooked rotisserie chicken breast or try other smoked meats, such as turkey, for the same flavor.
