cup orzo
cup olive oil
onion, peeled and chopped fine, about 1/2 cup
garlic clove, peeled and minced
cup dry white wine
tablespoon balsamic vinegar
large tomatoes, rinsed and diced
cup cooked or canned corn
small jar marinated artichokes, drained and chopped
tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped fine
tablespoons fresh basil, torn into small pieces
pound grilled chicken cut into 1/2-inch cubes, about 2 cups
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Bring 1 quart of water to a boil, in a large pot, over high heat. When the water is boiling, add orzo and 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, according to package directions, stirring occasionally. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over low to medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add wine and balsamic vinegar. Sauté for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in cooked orzo. Set aside.

Combine tomatoes, corn, artichoke hearts, parsley, basil and chicken in a large bowl. Stir in orzo. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan cheese.
