     This was really really good. I used homemade chicken broth and dried herbs. I used medium grain white rice instead of orzo. So good. Sprinkled some colby jack cheese on top. Feta would of been really good too! - 10/21/08

     I really enjoyed this! I found that while browning the chicken, it rendered lots of liquid, i drained it and added it back with the broth and some sun dried tomatoes. I used fresh rosemary. Delish!!! - 10/13/08

     This is sooo delicious!! It is also quick to make and convenient that it is a one-pot meal.

    I used fresh rosemary and added a tablespoon of fresh grated parmesan. I also recommend adding a couple of tablespoons of white wine or lemon juice at the end, for a just a hint of acidity. - 10/6/08

     Large portion size which is nice. Does not say how to do the chicken so I cubed which made the chicken kind of dry. Next time will try with full chicken breasts. - 10/5/08

    I cut mine into 1 inch strips. I am sorry I didn't state that. I also wanted to mention that last time I made this I added some Italian Seasoning (about 1 tsp along with the Rosemary) for a stronger taste and it was great! Thanks for the comment!

     This was a hit at my house! This recipe gave us very generous portion sizes, so I actually got another portion out of it. I liked the idea to add Feta cheese and kalamata olives, I may have to try. - 9/5/11

     I went with the general idea of the recipe but substituted ff sundried tomato feta and laughing cow stuffed chicken breasts instead of the plain chicken. I also stirred in english peas and sun dried tomatoes instead of the veggies called for in recipe as my husband doesn't like squash. Great dish! - 11/9/10
  • MVLAUREL
     LOVED THIS! It's now in the regular rotation. I did add the kalamata olives and the lf feta cheese on top. Amazing! One of the best things about this recipe is that you can add and subtract veggies to what you have on hand. Everyone in the family enjoyed this. Can't wait to make it again. - 8/30/10

     This was a great recipe...I used canned fire roasted tomatoes and mushrooms instead of green pepper. Also, I topped each serving with crumbled reduced fat feta. Thanks for posting! - 4/28/09

     I really liked this! DH wasn't so fond of the veggies so next time, I'll try others. - 1/20/09
  • ELIZABETHINPA
     I need more spices to zip it up, and some acidity (as mentioned) to balance it out and brighten the favor (e.g. white wine at the end). Great beginning though! - 12/30/08
  • ARTISTICAMANDA
     SO good! Even my boyfriend liked it (and asked me to make it again soon)! - 12/12/08

     Tasty. Not so much with the kids but it was a nice change from the usual. I had no tomatoes but added broccoli and all worked nicely. - 10/11/08
  • JIM*S_QUEENIE
     I do like this recipe with the fresh herbs best and put a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary on top of dish when serving at table for guests. Pretty presentation. - 10/11/08
  • BEHAPPY0201
     My store was completely out of orzo so I used alphabets - I thought the recipe was good, but my husband thought it was eehhh. I won't be making it again. - 10/7/08
  • THIRTEENREASONS
     So quick to make. Changing up the sizes of the chicken and amount of spices results in diferent tastes. Yum. - 10/6/08
  • SUPREMESAINTS
     Just for the record, GENIETEST is my wife so at the risk of sounding biased I loved the recipe. In fact, I had 2 helpings! I truly hope everyone tries this dish. Even our 4 year old son ate every bite! Honey, will you make this again soon? I love you. - 10/2/08
  • PICKIE98
     Are the breasts whole, or do we cut them up? It would quicken the cooking time. Not sure what to do. - 7/26/20
  • MAGICALRED
     It wasn't too bad. The recipe wasn't clear about everything. Will try it again. - 2/2/17
  • MARTARP
     It's was okay. I felt like the recipe was unclear about how much pasta to cook. - 5/15/15
  • MARIA4988
