• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Pick and finely chop fronds from dill. Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; slice into 1⁄2-inch-thick half-moons.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with half the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and as much oregano as you like (we used 1⁄2 tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings). • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. (If chicken is browning too quickly, lower heat and cover.) • Transfer chicken to a cutting board.
• Once water is boiling, add orzo to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain orzo and rinse under cold water for at least 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine Greek vinaigrette, remaining garlic powder, a drizzle of olive oil, and as much dill as you like.
• Add drained orzo, cucumber, and feta to bowl with dressing; toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Divide orzo salad between bowls; top with chicken and serve.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
