1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 tsp of butter, divided
8 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped (I used one 15 oz can of diced tomatoes, slightly drained)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup of reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup of uncooked whole wheat orzo pasta
1 cup of evaporated milk (I used fat free evaporated milk)
1/2 cup of loosely packed basil leaves, julienned (I used about 1.5 tbsp of dried basil)
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (I used Parmesan cheese, I thought it went better)
In large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken in
2 tsp of butter until it is no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute tomatoes and onion in remaining butter until onion is softened.
Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in broth. Bring to a boil.
Add orzo, then reduce the heat and cover.
Simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the orzo is tender.
Stir in the chicken, milk, basil, salt, and pepper. Heat through, but do not boil.
Sprinkle with cheese just before serving.
