Very good flavours. I had to use pot barley instead of orzo because I didn’t have any.

I always love this recipe! We used chicken broth since we didn’t have any open white wine and it turned out delicious!

Quick and easy to make. Tastes amazing. Will likely cut back on the amount of dill next time.

It came out great but you definitely need to watch the video once or twice before you cook because you cant fast forward or rewind the video at all.

This recipe is delicious. I lemon tasted a little heavy at first, but then it mellowed out perfectly, for my taste at least.
I made it exactly as written. I will make this again even for company.

Orzo is the star!
I followed the recipe exactly chicken turned out great! I served it with steamed asparagus and drizzled some of the sauce from the chicken pan on the asparagus. Amazing! But the star is the feta orzo. Holy smokes is that stuff good!! I will definitely be making the whole recipe again!!
