I made this dish with brown rice instead of orzo and it was just as good. I also added some chopped vegetables to the mix.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken from roasting a whole chicken on the weekend, and this is a great way to use it up.

The chicken and orzo were cooked perfectly. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the orzo was al dente.
