Chicken & Orzo Veggie Skillet

Hi guys!

I wanted to share with you my favorite Monday night meal. We’re always super busy at the start of the week, so I like to pull fast things together, like with Chicken and Orzo Veggie Skillet.

This dinner is so super easy to make – 20 minutes is all it took. Andddd, it’s a great, well rounded, healthy meal. It has the perfect mix of protein, veg, a bit of dairy and tons of yummy flavor.

I love making this kind of dish at the start of the week because we always have leftovers which means my lunch is made on Tuesday too. That’s winning for me!

Oh, and if you don’t have these veggies on hand, mix in whatever you do have! Spinach, tomatoes, squash, anything! Let me know what you mix into yours in the comments below!

Happy cooking!
