Recipes:

For the Garlic Herb Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Lemon Orzo:
1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups chicken broth
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
For the Garlic Herb Chicken:
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken
breasts. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the
chicken is golden brown. Set aside and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
For the Lemon Orzo:
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes). Drain the orzo
and return it to the pot.
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss until the orzo is well coated.
To Serve:
Plate the lemon orzo and top with the garlic herb chicken slices. Garnish with extra parsley and a wedge of lemon if desired.
