I wasn't a big fan of this dish. The orzo was a bit too mushy for my taste, and the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of chicken, orzo, and fresh herbs is just perfect. I highly recommend it!

This orzo dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the orzo was cooked perfectly. The fresh herbs added a delicious flavor that really made the dish.
