📝 Preparation Steps
1
1. To make the rice. Melt the butter with the rice, orzo, and pine nuts in a medium pot over medium heat. Let the butter brown. Add 2 cups water or broth (or bone broth). Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for ⏱️ 10 minutes. Turn the heat off. Allow the rice to cook, covered, for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes more. Fluff the rice with a fork.2. To make the chicken. Mix the chicken, butter, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper, and chili flakes in a bowl. If time allows, let it sit for ⏱️ 10 minutes or up to overnight to deepen the flavor.3. Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken onto skewers. Grill the skewers until lightly charred and cooked through, turning them occasionally throughout cooking, about 10 to ⏱️ 12 minutes total. During the same time, grill the peppers and zucchini for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes per side. 4. Serve the chicken with Tzatziki sauce and crumbled feta over bowls of rice pilaf. Arrange the gilled veggies and tomatoes on the side. Top with herbs. I like to add naan or pita bread too!
