Mmmmm...Creamy Lemon Chicken Orzo


Hi Reader,

Thanks to your feedback on the last recipe poll. The answers were SO CLOSE!

So, because of this near tie, I will be testing both the pesto pasta recipe and the hidden veggie mac and cheese.

Stay tuned for both in the next few weeks!

This week's new recipe family-friendly and only requires 1 pot. If you have cooked chicken already (or even rotisserie chicken), you can skip the grunt of the cooking here and your recipe is ready in 15 minutes!

I happen to think orzo pasta is so underrated. It’s quick, tasty and versatile – goes well with so many things, like lemon chicken!

This lemon pasta orzo with chicken will change your mind about orzo if you don't already love it, and show you how easy (and quick!) it is to cook with, and how much flavor it offers.
