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 1⁄4 cup water (for 4 servings, divide between two trays, using 1⁄4 cup water for each tray). Drizzle mixture with olive oil.
• Cover chicken orzo bake with foil and bake on top rack 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.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Some found it bland; others loved the combination of feta, pistachios, and green goddess dressing 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Extremely easy to make with minimal cleanup, though many needed to adjust cooking time for fully cooked chicken.
- Suggestions: Consider browning chicken separately, adding vegetables like spinach or peas, and increasing seasoning for more flavor.
- Portions: Several felt there were too many beans compared to chicken and orzo; adjusting ratios could improve balance.
- Texture: Some found it mushy; adding crunchy toppings like toasted panko could enhance texture variety.
