Directions

Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt, then sprinkle the chicken breasts liberally on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a CopperBond12.5” skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate, cover with another plate or foil and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the onion, red and green peppers. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, scraping the bottom occasionally to get all the chicken and spices off the skillet. Add the garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red pepper flakes, oregano, and thyme. Next, add the orzo, white wine, and chicken broth, stir to mix everything well.
Place the chicken breasts on top on the orzo, then cover and cook on medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the orzo is done, and the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
Remove the chicken from the pan, stir in the olives and feta, then place the chicken back in the pan and add a few fresh oregano leaves (to taste). Finish each plate with a sprinkle of lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice and a little more crumbled feta (to taste). Enjoy!
