- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush with oil to prevent sticking.
- Using a paper towel, pat chicken dry. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, with lid closed, 12–14 min, flipping halfway, or until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 2–3 min, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot, cook orzo in boiling water until tender. Rinse under cold water and drain well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayo, dressing mix, vinegar, and honey.
- Dice cucumber. Chop feta into small cubes. Slice cherry tomatoes in half.
- To bowl with dressing, add chicken, orzo, veggies, feta, and olives. Toss to combine.
To cook chicken on the stovetop instead of the grill, heat 1 tbsp oil a large, nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 8 min, flip, then cover and cook 6 min, or until chicken is cooked through. Chicken breasts vary in thickness. To test for doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the breast; it should register at 165° F.
If making ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
