chicken pesto orzo

chicken pesto orzo


This was a dish I had while working an event for my company in the city. We were served this by hotel catering, except without the chicken. The recipe is so easy that I just figured it out when I ate it.

Just throw together cooked orzo pasta, cooked chicken (I steamed mine tonight because it was frozen and would have otherwise taken forever), sun-dried tomatoes, and pine nuts (I was without pine nuts this time, boo).

pesto chicken sandwich

Pesto chicken sandwich


I was trying to recreate a sandwich that I used to have at school all the time. My pesto looks different than theirs, but it still tastes good.

Alterations:
I used a blender instead of a food processor. After it was all done, I put the pesto in a bowl, mixed in boiled, cubed chicken and some minced red onions. Then I laid a couple of romaine lettuce leaves on a french roll opposite a slice of provolone cheese and spread the mixture on the lettuce.
