One-Pan Lemon Chicken and Veggie Orzo Recipe
This Lemon Chicken Veggie Orzo is my go-to for a bright, satisfying one-pot meal that comes together in under 40 minutes. I’ve tested this recipe multiple times to ensure the chicken stays tender and the orzo perfectly absorbs the lemony broth without turning mushy. It’s a complete dinner with protein, greens, and carbs, all from a single skillet.
