Creating One Skillet Greek Chicken and Orzo with Tomatoes, Feta, and Tzatziki can be effortless if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned.
4. Add Orzo: Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the orzo, followed by the chicken broth.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the orzo absorbs the broth and becomes tender.
6. Incorporate Tomatoes and Feta: Stir in the cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese, mixing well to incorporate.
7. Final Simmer: Cover and let the skillet simmer for an additional 5 minutes to warm through.
8. Serve with Tzatziki: Remove from heat. Serve the dish with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce on top.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor and color.

By following these steps, you’ll have a beautifully cooked dish that bursts with Mediterranean flavors.
