    Happy Wednesday, friends! Today I’ve got another delicious recipe for you, that is super quick and easy to throw together, not to mention healthy! Today’s dish is my quick Mediterranean marinated grilled chicken with orzo salad, and it will be on the table in no time! Let’s jump in 🙂

    The most time consuming part of the dish is the marinade, so throw this together in the morning or the night before and marinate the chicken overnight or all day so that you can save precious post-work pre-dinner time!

    While the chicken marinates, it’s time to throw together this super simple orzo salad. Cooked orzo, crisp veggies, and salty feta get paired with a super simple and tasty vinaigrette. All that fresh dill packs a real punch too, which I love!

    When you’re ready to eat, grill up the chicken on a grill pan (if it’s the middle of February, for example, and your outdoor grill is covered in six inches of snow), or throw it on the outdoor grill if you’re lucky enough to be somewhere WARM right now! Serve the chicken over a big heaping scoop of orzo salad and enjoy!
