Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water until partially cooked through but not yet soft, about 5 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water until cooled completely.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots, celery, and onion in hot oil until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Season mixture with thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf; continue cooking another 30 seconds before pouring chicken broth into the pot.
- Bring the broth to a boil. Partially cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir orzo, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the broth; add chicken. Cook until the chicken and orzo are heated through, about 5 minutes. Add baby spinach; cook until the spinach wilts into the broth and the orzo is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls; garnish with lemon slices and Parmesan cheese.

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH LEMON ORZO
Steps:
- Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Remove the tenders on the underside of the chicken breasts and save for another use. (This makes the chicken breasts an even thickness so they cook evenly.) Heat the canola oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter together in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to sizzle.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Place the chicken, skin side down, in the skillet and cook over medium heat without moving for 12 minutes. With the chicken still skin side down, place the skillet in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
- Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat (careful; the handle will be hot!). Turn the chicken skin side up, add the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter, and continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is a nutty brown color and the chicken breasts are just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer will register 130 to 140 degrees F). Off the heat, sprinkle on the parsley.
- Divide the Lemon Orzo with Feta among four dinner plates. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice each breast crosswise in thick slices. Arrange one breast on each plate with the orzo. Spoon a few tablespoons of the brown butter over each chicken breast, squeeze on some lemon, and sprinkle with salt. Serve hot with a fresh wedge of lemon on each plate.
- In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt and the orzo. Return the water to a boil and simmer uncovered for 9 to 11 minutes, until the orzo is al dente. Drain.
- Transfer the orzo to a bowl and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Fold in the feta and serve hot.

- Untruss the chicken, if it comes trussed, and remove all the string. If time allows, let it stand out on a board for 40 minutes or so to let the chill come off it. Heat the oven to 350ºF.
- Peel the garlic cloves, and peel and cut the carrots into three lengths across, and then into sticks. Wash the leeks to remove any mud, if needed, and cut into 1-inch rounds.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based Dutch oven with a tightly fitting lid; I use an enameled cast-iron oval Dutch oven 12 inches long, in which the chicken fits neatly, leaving just a small space all around it to fit the vegetables later. Place the chicken in the hot oil breast-side down to color the skin; I do this over high heat for 3–5 minutes, or until the skin is richly golden. Then turn the chicken the right way up.

LEMON CHICKEN ORZO SOUP WITH TURMERIC - FLIPPED-OUT FOOD
From flippedoutfood.com
- (If using pre-made or store-bought stock, skip to "FOR THE SOUP.") Add the chicken carcass to the insert of a slow-cooker or Instant Pot with onion, garlic cloves, bay leaf, rosemary, peppercorns. Add very hot water, 2 cups at a time, to the container in which the chicken was packaged to rinse any drippings. Add the water and drippings to the cooker. Repeat four times, for a total of 8 cups. Add one additional cup of water. Cook at least 8 hours (and up to 24) in the slow-cooker on low. FOR THE INSTANT POT: close the lid and seal the valve. Press the "Pressure Cook" button enough times so that "More" is selected. Press the plus sign until the cooker's display shows 60 minutes. After a brief pause, The Instant Pot will now pressurize for around 20 minutes before the clock begins to count down. When the cook time is complete, allow the pressure cooker to depressurize naturally (don't release the valve; this can take another 20 or so minutes).
- Use a skimmer to remove the large solids from the stock; discard. Ladle the stock through a fine-mesh strainer into a fat separator. Pour the degreased stock from the fat separator into a storage container (the fat can be seen in a lighter layer on top of the stock; or see Recipe Note #4). The finished stock in storage containers. If you plan to freeze the broth, leave about an inch of space between the top of the stock and the lid (the stock will expand when it freezes). You can freeze the stock up to 6 months. Note: you should get about 8 cups of stock: if you come up short, you can make up the difference with store-bought stock or water.
- Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed pot (or the insert of an Instant Pot set on the highest saute setting). Saute the onions, celery, and carrots until translucent and softening.

- Dry chicken with paper towels and lightly season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Set the Instant Pot to "sauté". Pour the olive oil and butter into the pot, swirling the butter until it melts. Using tongs, place the chicken thighs in the pot and brown chicken on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side (you may need to move chicken around so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot). Remove from the pot, leaving the oil behind, and set aside.
- Add in the onion and garlic and stir frequently until the onions are softened and browned, about 3-4 minutes.
LEMON CHICKEN ORZO - SALT & LAVENDER
From saltandlavender.com
- Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and orzo. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often (this infuses the orzo with more flavor and toasts it a little).
- Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and cream. Once it starts to bubble, continue cooking for 10 minutes, uncovered, stirring fairly often. You will probably need to turn the heat down a bit (to medium or even medium-low). It should gently bubble vs. furiously boil, and you don't want the liquid to reduce too much before the pasta has cooked. See notes below for troubleshooting tips.
