Cooking Light's Orzo with Chicken and Asiago


  • This is a wonderful, one-dish chicken meal from Cooking Light that I make often in the warmer weather.  I boil a chicken breast and shred it instead of cubing it.  I like the look of shredded chicken in this dish more.  In about 30 minutes, you have a delicious and easy dinner.  Happy Cooking!
