Cooking Steps
-
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
-
Once water is boiling, add orzo to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 7-10 minutes.
- While orzo cooks, trim and thinly slice scallions.
-
Drain orzo, then return to pot. Add garlic herb butter and season with salt and pepper. Stir until butter has melted.
-
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and half the scallions. Season with Savory Paprika Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
-
Reduce heat under pan to medium. Stir in romesco sauce. Cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened and chicken is coated, 30-60 seconds.
-
Empty contents of salad kit into a large bowl. Drizzle with as much dressing as you like; toss to evenly coat. TIP: Want to save a bowl? Shake the salad, toppings, and dressing in the bag!
-
Divide orzo between plates. Top with romesco chicken and any remaining sauce from pan. Garnish with feta and remaining scallions. Serve with salad on the side.
