CAPRESE CHICKEN AND ORZO SKILLET



Caprese Chicken and Orzo Skillet image

One-and-done dinners are where it's at in the summertime, and this one is particularly well suited to the season. Featuring all the flavors of a caprese salad-including tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil-but on a hearty bed of orzo and chicken breasts, this meal will fill up the whole family. And perhaps best of all, it's an easy way to make a weeknight dinner extra special in under an hour!
