Mediterranean Chicken w/Rosemary Orzo

Here's a yummy recipe that I made for Steve and I last night. The portions were quite large, and filling. This is a definite thumbs up, and will make it again!

Mediterranean Chicken w/Rosemary Orzo



Ingredients


1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch strips
1 1/3 cups orzo pasta, uncooked
1 1/2 cups (about 2 medium) zucchini, julienned or chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 1/2 cups (about 3) plum tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 1/2 oz) can fat free chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaf, or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt



Preparation



1. Spray a 10-inch skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chicken and stir-fry for about 5 minutes (untill browned)


3. Stir in the chicken broth, orzo and garlic.
4. Heat until boiling; reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 8 minutes (or until the liquid is absorbed).
5. Stir in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.
6. Cover and simmer, stirring once, for about 5 minutes (until pepper is crisp-tender and the orzo is tender).
Makes 4 servings. WW points per serving: 7

Oooh this looks good, will have to give it a try next week. I made a layered mexican lasagna the other night only 7pts too, but the portion seemed small, although I filled up with lots of salad. :)
