CHICKEN AND ORZO SALAD
Found in the cookbook, "Bay Tables," published by the Junior League of Mobile, this adapted recipe quickly became my "go-to" dish when attending a picnic or potluck. The secret, though time consuming, is dicing the vegetables small. You can make up that time if you use a rotisserie chicken from your local supermarket. If you bring this dish to a potluck, make sure you have printed copies of the recipe; you'll need them.

- To a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, chicken, evenly season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and lightly golden browned. Stir and flip intermittently to ensure all sides cook evenly. I used thin-sliced chicken breasts which cook quickly. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken. Transfer the chicken and cooking juices to the bowl with the orzo.
- To a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and whisk to combine. Taste vinaigrette and check for seasoning balance; add more salt, honey, lemon juice, etc. to taste.
