Mediterranean chicken with wholegrain orzo
Balanced Phase 4 maintenance dinner with chicken, wholegrain orzo and Mediterranean vegetables.
Mediterranean chicken with wholegrain orzo brings the sun to your plate with juicy chicken chunks, grilled courgette and peppers. A handful of crumbled feta and fresh parsley make it a sunny, Mediterranean dish that tastes like holiday.
In Phase 4, the lifestyle or maintenance phase, everything revolves around lasting balance, and this dinner is a perfect example of it. The lean chicken delivers plenty of protein for muscle maintenance and satiety, while the wholegrain orzo provides measured, fibre-rich carbohydrates. The courgette and peppers add fibre and colour, whilst a modest bit of feta gives just that salty accent that makes the plate complete. This way you effortlessly stick to a high-protein diet as a fixed part of your daily routine.
Lovely with a fresh Greek salad or a dollop of tzatziki on the side. A splash of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon over the whole thing finish it off.
