Step-by-Step Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts into ¼ inch-thick pieces, season with kosher salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and dried oregano. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, toss in the diced onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add orzo to the skillet, stirring to coat with onion and garlic. Season with salt, pour in water and lemon juice. Simmer and stir occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
- Return browned chicken with juices back to the skillet. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and olives. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes until orzo is tender and liquid absorbed.
- Remove the lid, taste and adjust seasoning. Crumble feta on top and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
Make sure to season the chicken generously and monitor cooking time to avoid dryness. Fresh herbs at the end enhance the flavor significantly.
