Love this recipe! I also cut the chicken into smaller pieces as I used tenders. The feta cheese makes this dish. A keeper!

I followed this recipe exactly and ended up with chicken that was under done and orzo that was overcooked. The chicken didn't completely poach in the broth and I ended up taking it out, sauteing it and putting it back into the finished dish. Maybe my chicken pieces were too big.

Mmmm! I love all the ingredients in this dish! This is easy and delicious! A great recipe to make after work. Healthy too! I added a little lemon juce to the broth while it was cooking and it gave it a nice zing! Thanks for a great recipe Mille! :)
