**Ingredients**

* _For the Chicken_:
* 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
* 1/2 tsp. ground pepper
* nonstick cooking spray
* 1 pint grape tomatoes (halved, if desired)
* 1/2 cup kalamata olives, halved
* 4 Tbsp. light Balsamic Vinaigrette (I use NewmanÕs Own)
* 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
* 2 Tbsp. sliced fresh basil

* _For the Orzo_:
* 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
* 1 cup spring greens mix, coarsely chopped
* 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
* 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
* 1/4 tsp. crushed dried rosemary (or 1/2 tsp. fresh minced rosemary)
* 1/4 tsp. salt

**Instructions**

* _For the Chicken_:
* Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
* Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray, and place the chicken breasts in the pan. Cook, 5-7 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate, cover, and set aside.
* As the chicken cooks, combine the tomatoes, olives, and Balsamic dressing.
* Once the chicken is removed from the pan, add the tomato mixture to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soften and the skins start to pop a bit, 2-3 minutes.

* _For the Orzo_:
* Cook the orzo according to the directions on the package as the chicken is cooking. Drain the pasta and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
* Add the chopped greens, toasted pine nuts, olive oil, rosemary and salt. Stir to combine.

To serve: Place some of the orzo on your plate. Top with a chicken breast. Spoon some of the tomato-olive mixture over the top of the chicken. Sprinkle with feta cheese and sliced fresh basil.
