Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo

EatingWell

Sun-dried tomatoes and Romano cheese pack a flavorful punch along with the tantalizing aroma of fresh marjoram in this rustic Italian-inspired dish. Serve with sautéed fresh spinach or steamed broccolini.

Servings: 4 servings
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ease of Preparation: Easy
Health: Heart Healthy, High Calcium, High Potassium, Low Sodium, Low Sat Fat, High Fiber


Ingredients:

Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo
8 ounces orzo , preferably whole-wheat
1 cup water
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed), divided
1 plum tomato , diced
1 clove garlic , peeled
3 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram , divided
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil , divided
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts , trimmed (1-1 1/4 pounds)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts , thawed
1/2 cup finely shredded Romano cheese , divided


Steps:

1: Cook orzo in a large saucepan of boiling water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse.

2: Meanwhile, place 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, plum tomato, garlic, 2 teaspoons marjoram, vinegar and 2 teaspoons oil in a blender. Blend until just a few chunks remain.

3: Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning, until golden outside and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm.

4: Pour the tomato sauce into the pan and bring to a boil. Measure out 1/2 cup sauce to a small bowl. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes to the pan along with the orzo, artichoke hearts and 6 tablespoons cheese. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide among 4 plates.

5: Slice the chicken. Top each portion of pasta with sliced chicken, 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomato sauce and a sprinkling of the remaining cheese and marjoram.

Savory Orange-Roasted Tofu & Asparagus

EW (Test Kitchen)

If you’ve never had roasted tofu before, here’s a great way to start. Toss tofu and asparagus in a tangy orange- and basil-scented sauce, made rich and savory with miso. Serve with brown rice or couscous and an orange-and-fennel salad.

Servings: 4 servings, scant 1 cup each
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ease of Preparation: Easy
Health: Healthy Weight, Heart Healthy, High Calcium, Low Cholesterol, Low Sat Fat, Low Carb, Low Calorie


Ingredients:

Savory Orange-Roasted Tofu & Asparagus
1 14-ounce package extra-firm water-packed tofu , rinsed
2 tablespoons red miso (see Ingredient Note), divided
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar , divided
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil , divided
1 pound asparagus , trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon salt


Steps:

1: Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

2: Pat tofu dry and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Whisk 1 tablespoon miso, 1 tablespoon vinegar and 2 teaspoons oil in a large bowl until smooth. Add the tofu; gently toss to coat. Spread the tofu in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes. Gently toss asparagus with the tofu. Return to the oven and roast until the tofu is golden brown and the asparagus is tender, 8 to 10 minutes more.

3: Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon miso, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 2 teaspoons oil, basil, orange zest and juice, and salt in the large bowl until smooth. Toss the roasted tofu and asparagus with the sauce and serve.
