Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Marinate Chicken!  Mix tzatziki sauce and half of the olive oil.  Place this mixture and chicken in a bowl or ziplock and let marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.  Rotisserie chicken can also be used!
  • Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees (approximately 20 minutes).
  • Cook the orzo.  Cook as directed on the package, but add lemon juice to the boiling water.  Strain and run under cold water to cool down the orzo.
  • Prep the vegetables.  While the chicken cooks, cut and chop the cucumber, onion, and tomatoes.
  • Pickle the vegetables.  Mix the remaining half of the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano in a medium bowl.  Add cucumbers, onion, and tomatoes to this mixture and stir.  Let sit until ready to use.
  • Shred the chicken.  Remove the chicken from oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.  Shred or chop the chicken.
  • Put it all together.  Place the orzo in the bowl, spinach, olives, vegetables, hummus, chicken, and tzatziki sauce in a bowl and enjoy!
