Cooking Instructions
(for the 10/31 meal)
You have TWO oven temperatures for this meal, so take a look below.  I would serve the eggplant fritters as a first-course item for sure, and then the chicken with the orzo.  You can serve the salad with the chicken (which is what I personally like) or you could serve it along with the eggplant fritters as a first-course.
First, do this:
- heat your oven to 400 degrees (you'll drop it to 350 after the eggplant fritters come out) 
- remove the lid from the chicken and cover the pan with foil 
- remove the lid from the eggplant fritters 
- find a medium mixing bowl 
- store the honey cake (if ordered) at room temperature... it's not good when cold, and will keep just fine on the counter. 
EGGPLANT FRITTERS
400 degree oven, 10-12 minutes
uses the white sauce with the green bits (tzatziki)
Place your pan of eggplant fritters, uncovered, into your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. These aren't going to be "crispy" but we are looking for some firmness on the outside, and you'll hear them sizzling when they are ready. Allow the fritters to rest for a minute or two, then serve warm with the tzatziki sauce on the side.
AUTHENTIC GREEK SALAD
chilled
uses the yellowish-pinkish dressing and the container of peppers, onions, and olives
Remove the egg from the container of vegetables and set it aside. Place the tomatoes, cucumber, and feta into your mixing bowl. Add as much or as little of the green peppers, onions, and olives as you like. Shake the dressing well, add the dressing and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl, toss gently to dress everything, then divide into individual bowls or plates. Slice the egg into quarters and top each salad with 2 pieces of egg. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper if desired and serve chilled, right away.
CHICKEN KAPAMA
350 degree oven, 30-40 minutes
uses the chopped herbs and the fine grated cheese
Place the pan of chicken, covered, into your preheated oven and warm for 30-40 minutes, or until warm and bubbling around the edges. Keep warm, covered on the countertop, for 5-10 minutes or until you are ready to serve.
When you're ready to serve, sprinkle the cheese over the chicken (you don't HAVE to use it all, but go heavy) then sprinkle with the chopped herbs. Serve warm, preferably alongside the orzo.
CREAMY SPINACH ORZO
stovetop (or microwave, see below)
uses the green spinach cream sauce
I prefer to do this on the stovetop. If you would like to use the microwave, see the second paragraph. Grab a medium sauté pan, preferably nonstick but a regular does-stick pan will work fine too. Place all of the orzo in your pan, along with 1/4 cup of water. Turn the heat to medium, and warm the orzo while stirring occasionally. When things are sizzling, add all of the green spinach cream sauce and stir well. Heat the orzo and sauce over medium heat, stirring throughout, until the sauce looks glossy and bright green, and the orzo is scoopable. It shouldn't be soupy, it should be a saucy, creamy pasta dish that you could spoon onto a plate or bowl. This step should take about 3 minutes. Divide onto individual plates or bowls and serve hot, preferably alongside the chicken.
To heat this in the microwave, place the orzo into a microwave-safe bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water and cover that bowl with plastic wrap. Heat on high for 1.5 minutes, or until hot. Add all of the green spinach cream sauce and stir well. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Heat for 1 more minute on high, stir, and then take a look. The orzo should be creamy but not soupy, the sauce should be bright green and glossy, and everything should be hot. If not, continue heating in the microwave until you're there. Divide onto individual plates or bowls and serve hot, preferably alongside the chicken.
GREEK HONEY CAKE (if ordered)
room temperature
Serve this as-is, at room temperature. This cake is intense and quite sweet, so I sliced each "portion" into two pieces. Feel free to eat it all, but any leftover will keep at room temperature until Monday. If you've got ice cream in the freezer then you could serve that alongside... but honestly, the cake by itself and a strong cup of coffee is where it's at, for me at least.
