Easy Balsamic Chicken & Veggie Orzo

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and oregano.
