Lemon Chicken and Orzo

Known as “Kritharaki” in Greek, this bright, comforting, and effortlessly elegant, lemon chicken and orzo is the kind of dish that feels both fresh and satisfying. Tender, golden-seared chicken is paired with delicate orzo pasta that soaks up a vibrant blend of lemon juice, garlic, and savory broth. Each bite balances zesty citrus with rich, herby warmth, often finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a touch of parmesan. It’s a one-pan meal that delivers big flavor with minimal fuss—perfect for weeknights, yet inviting enough to serve when you want something a little special.
