I'm not a big fan of orzo, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The orzo was cooked perfectly and it had a great flavor. I'll definitely be making this dish again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I roast a chicken. This dish is a great way to use up that leftover chicken and turn it into a delicious meal.
