If you haven’t tried cooking with orzo pasta yet, where have you been?! Quick to cook and so easy to use for one pot dishes. I knew I had to create a dish of flavours that many of us love the most – Parmesan, lemon, chicken – and make them into an orzo recipe that could be made in one pot in about half an hour. Here it is!
Why you’ll love this Lemon Chicken Orzo Pasta recipe
⭐️ All in one pot, less washing up ⭐️ Ready in about 30 minutes ⭐️ A full meal with everything ready at the same time I took the main parts of my Marry Me Chicken Orzo recipe (this is HUGELY popular) and adapted it slightly to make way for a zesty, lemony flavour instead. I think it really works well and I do hope you love it – it’s SO easy!

In the freezer Creamy sauces don’t freeze terribly well, however I wouldn’t let it go to waste if you have leftovers! If freezing is your best option, you can do so, it may need a little extra liquid (water) to be added as you reheat it. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
