3 whole boneless chicken breasts with skin (about 2 1/2 pounds), halved

The dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more garlic and paprika next time.

I'm not a huge fan of rosemary, so I used thyme instead. It turned out great! The chicken was still very flavorful and the orzo was delicious.

The chicken turned out a bit dry, but the orzo was delicious. I think I'll try brining the chicken next time to keep it more moist.
