Chicken-Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese

Excellent! I modified it by adding baby spinach instead of arugula and used feta instead of goat cheese.

Triple the oil and vinegar and double the amount of goat cheese; use rotisserie chicken. This is my go-to beach dish. Really light, I think the peppery taste of the arugula makes it perfect. Great for tailgating too.

I did not like the arugula. Need to increase the oil and vinegar for added flavor. I also roasted a split chicken breast and cut it off the bone. It melted in my mouth

This was awesome! My four yr old ate it up, whole family enjoyed it. I did use kale instead of arugula.

Delicious and perfect for summer. My husband liked it too. Probably could use less orzo and a little more dressing. Super leftovers the next day. Will definitely make this again.

I found this recipe, looking for an alternative to the normal pasta salad...an instant HIT! I make it as a vegetarian dish, and a a side with either grilled chicken or fish. I've never prepared it with the store bought chicken, but always with my own grilled chicken.

It is exactly what three stars indicates- a good, solid recipe. Great flavor. Looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Used freeze dried herbs, yellow pepper and leftover rotisserie chicken and whole wheat orzo. Easy and great. The kids even loved it (4 and 6).

Easy midweek dinner. Added the goat cheese when the orzo was still hot, so it melted and made the dish creamy...I'm sure it addressed the lack of flavor/lack of dressing that other reviewers noted. I made a couple of other changes too. I used parsley instead of oregano and shallots instead of red onion because that's what I prefer. Also, eliminated the arugula (my kids don't like it) and served it with a Caesar Salad.
