I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it didn't turn out well for me. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was way too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I wouldn't make it again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. I like to add a little bit of chopped fresh dill to the sauce before serving.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the lemon-dill sauce was amazing. I loved the addition of the orzo, which made the dish even more hearty and satisfying.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the lemon-dill sauce was flavorful and refreshing. The orzo cooked perfectly and absorbed all the delicious flavors. I will definitely be making this again.
