Name: Quick Greek Spinach and Chicken Orzo Recipe - Food.com
Ingredients: 8 ounces orzo pasta; 2 chicken bouillon cubes (for the orzo cooking liquid) or 2 vegetable bouillon cubes (for the orzo cooking liquid); 1 oven-roasted deli chicken; 3 cups fresh Baby Spinach (regular fresh spinach will work if you can't find baby); 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (I use the plain kind, but the flavored type works here too); 1 large tomatoes, diced (or substitute halved grape tomatoes, approx. 1 1/2 cups); 1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted (reserve a bit of the brine if you use good quality olives); 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 3 tablespoons reserved olive brine (optional); 1 tablespoon capers (optional); fresh ground pepper, to taste

"This is adapted from a recipe I found in a cooking magazine I get. This is great for brown-bagging because it tastes good at any temperature, and it's really quick to make. If you are salt sensitive, omit the bouillion cubes and olive brine (not essential, but I like the flavor they add)...."
