- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook 1 cup of orzo pasta until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board.
- Dice the avocado and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cooked orzo, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and chopped red onion to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
