Updated September 8, 2010

Ingredients

  • 4
    boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb)
  • 1/4
    cup Dijon mustard
  • 1
    tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1
    tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2
    teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
  • 1/4
    teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/3
    cups uncooked orzo pasta (8 oz)
  • Chopped fresh parsley, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 11x7-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Place chicken in baking dish.
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients except pasta and parsley. Spread mustard mixture over chicken to coat thoroughly.
  • 3
    Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Garnish chicken with parsley. Serve with pasta.

  • Other herbs besides rosemary are good in this recipe. Try marjoram, tarragon or chervil.
  • Cook your pasta while the chicken bakes, timing it so the pasta and chicken are done at the same time.
