I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and they were still very moist and tender.

This dish is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a little more spice.

I made this dish exactly as written and it was perfect. The chicken was tender and juicy, the orzo was cooked al dente, and the lemon and dill sauce was flavorful without being overpowering.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken breasts on hand and they worked perfectly in this recipe.
