Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. In oven-ready tray, combine chicken, orzo, beans and their liquid, stock concentrates, oregano, garlic powder, cream cheese, and ¼ cup water (for 4 servings, divide between two trays, using ¼ cup water for each tray). Drizzle mixture with olive oil.
Cover chicken orzo bake with foil and bake on top rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until chicken is fully cooked and bake is bubbling, 30-35 minutes (for 4 servings, place two trays side by side on top rack).
Meanwhile, crush pistachios in their package. In a small bowl, combine green goddess dressing, 1 TBSP olive oil, and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP olive oil and 2 TBSP water for 4 servings). Taste and season with a pinch of salt.
Carefully remove foil from chicken orzo bake (watch out for steam!); stir. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Top with feta and crushed pistachios. Drizzle with green goddess sauce. Divide between plates or shallow bowls; serve with chili flakes on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very easy prep and minimal cleanup. This meal tasted very good and I kept the recipe card for this one to make in the future on my own at home!
Awesome Meal that went right into my favorite list. Has the great portion size of the prep and bake options and taste is fantastic
I was skeptical of this recipe but WOW it was so easy and delicious!! The feta and green goddess dressing and pistachios!!! <3 <3 <3
So delicious!! Great flavor especially with the green sauce, feta and red pepper flakes! Could use a little more nutrition. Could add spinach! GREAT protein!
This was much better than I thought it was going to be. I mean, how good could something be that you just dump everything together and bake? Alas, it was great!
Loved the ease of this and the flavors were great. The cook time took at least 10-15 minutes longer than the recipe called for.
I had to cook this for an additional 20 minutes for the chicken to actually be cooked. I've never had this problem with a hello fresh recipe before!! Also wish there was a vegetable in it but overall was still tasty.
This was chosen because it was some very different for us. It was tasty and filling but the pistachios flavor was lost, my husband didn't realize they were even in the dish. Glad we tried it though.
It just has too much bean content for me personally. It's a great recipe. I'm learning so I'd still order it I'd just 3/4 the beans. The topping helps with flavor I used all the red peppers to help flavor the bean content.
These new Ready Made Meals are better than any frozen entrée in the supermarket. They are tasty and quick. Will be buying more in the future.
