Season mixture with thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf; continue cooking another 30 seconds before pouring chicken broth into the pot.

- Shred the cooled chicken. Add any accumulated juices from the chicken plate back to the pot along with the lemon zest and juice. Add in the butter and adjust seasoning.

LEMON ORZO
Steps:
- 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.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of vegetable broth and white wine in the soup.
- If you don't have any fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice instead. Just be sure to adjust the amount to taste.
- If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the soup until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
- To make the soup ahead of time, simply cook the soup according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
