Ingredients for the Chicken
- 4 skinless, bone-in chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano

Ingredients for the Orzo
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Directions
- In a large bowl or zip closure bag, combine the chicken breasts, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Rub the seasonings and olive oil around in the bag to coat the chicken. Marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature of the thickest part registers to 150 degrees F.
