Author:
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup whole wheat (or gluten free) breadcrumbs (Toss bread in the blender, then toast in a 350 oven for a few minutes)
  • 2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (I like to cut them down to "chicken nugget" size.)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 5-6 grinds fresh black pepper
  • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ box orzo pasta
  • 2 Tbsp freshly chopped basil
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package feta cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 14-16 grinds fresh black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine panko and Italian seasoning in a shallow bowl.
  3. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in panko mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a large, oven safe skillet over medium high heat.
  5. Add chicken and cook 3-4 minutes until browned. Flip and cook 3-4 minutes on the other side, then transfer to oven for about 5-10 minutes or until done.
  6. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain (make sure to buy whole grain orzo for really clean eating).
  7. Combine all other ingredients and serve.
