Tonight’s dinner was based on a Greek dish recipe I found online! This included orzo, pickled red onion, cucumber and tomato salad, greek spiced chicken, tzatziki and green beans! Each of these components on their own seemed to be quite simple, orzo is just a pasta so cooking it was the same as any other type. As for spicing the chicken, the recipe online gave me all the ingredients needed so all I had to do was pick up the spices. This includes marinating the chicken in fresh oregano, onion, garlic, and a lot of lemon juice. As for the salad, I diced up some tomatoes and cucumbers and added olive oil, lemon juice oregano, and feta which you cant see in the photo as it is at the bottom of the plate. I bought the pickled red onions because I didn’t have 2-4 weeks of patience to pickle them myself but the store-bought ones were perfect. If I am being honest, the green beans were about to expire so I just threw those in with some garlic, salt, and pepper! Overall, this dish was amazing and one that I will definitely be making again on my student budget diet. What isn’t captured in the photo is I proceeded to heat up a naan on the stove and started making almost like a gyro which was even more filling and left me with leftovers for the next day! 10/10 rating for this dish, thankful that the internet provided me with a great recipe.
