Zesty Chicken & Orzo Skillet

Again, I love every foodie word in that title!!
(no serving size given)

4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb.) - I would use thighs*
1/2 cup Zest Italian dressing, divided
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen artichoke hears
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup orzo pasta, uncooked
1&1/2 cups water
2 T. chopped fresh basil (I would use lemon basil*)

Cook chicken in 2 T. dressing in a large nonstick skillet on med.-high heat for 4 min.on each side or until browned on both sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add remaining dressing and all remaining ingredients except basil to skillet; mix well. Bring to a boil on med. heat. Top with chicken and cover. Simmer on med.-low heat for 9 min. or until chicken is done (165 degrees), stirring after 5 min.
Remove from heat; let stand 5 min. Top with basil (I like to hand tear instead of chop*).

Keep your chin up and Keep SMILING!!

Love,
