Printable recipe 🖨: greenhealthyco...
Ingredients 🥬
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
2 carrots
3 stalks celery
2 small chicken breasts (7oz each)
8 cups flavorful chicken broth
2 sprigs rosemary
3-4 sprigs thyme
3-4 sage leaves
1.5 cups orzo
1/2 cup frozen peas
sea salt
pepper
1 juice of whole lemon
parsley
Instructions ✏️
1. Peel and finely chop onion and garlic.
2. Peel and dice carrots and wash and dice celery.
3. Preheat a large pot over medium heat, once hot add a splash of olive oil and then sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add diced vegetables and stir-fry until bright (about 5 minutes).
4. Add chicken breasts to pot and then pour broth over everything. Add herbs either loosely or in an herb infuser.
5. Bring everything to a boil and once boiling, put on the lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken breasts are cooked through to 165F internal temperature.
6. Remove chicken breasts from the soup and place on a cutting board.
7. Add orzo to the broth and cook for about 10 minutes or until al dente.
8. In the meantime, take two forks and shred the chicken breasts. Once the pasta is cooked, add the chicken back into the soup to reheat for about 1 minute.
9. Add frozen peas (they will defrost immediately in the hot broth).
10. Remove the herb infuser, add lemon juice, and taste test to see if it needs more seasoning with sea salt and pepper (this will depend on how flavorful your broth was).
11. Serve in a bowl, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy!

I just made the soup, I did it close to the recipe just didn't have the herbs but still used the chicken thighs with lemon 🍋 . Tastes like a Greek restaurant I used to go to in Columbus, Ohio!

[@theoDSP]

Lemon chicken is traditional Greek recipe

[@laurallama73]

I’ve never seen an herb infuser! Love it.🤩✨

[@shenay9377]

Your recipe is amazing. I tried it and added some scallions on top, turned out pretty delicious. I also put chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Thank you.

[@irisfbernard8377]

I like soup but I like the way you talk And I’m going to give you this 👍❤️

[@mathieubourgoin776]

The flavor was amazing. Honestly it's one of my favorite for this year. A huge thank you for sharing this recipe. The only thing, however, I found it to be to thick for my taste. I will certainly do it again but with only one chicken breast and 1 cup of orzo instead.

[@CatmommieKG]

I'm going to cook my pasta separately and put in the bowls first.

Love your recepi, thank you so much 😍😍

[@danielavenanzetti9720]

Instead of the heroes use dill and parsley (or not) but add lemon and eggs shortly before serving and put half to 1 cup of broth to make it creamy before adding it to the full pot😘

[@rida3079]

Going to make this tmrw night

[@Greenhealthycooking]

YAY!!! :D

[@mohamedfathalah8310]

Abslutley i will try it❤🌻

[@benzo-diazepine]

Me likely thank you!

[@brit6676]

You scared me. I’m was watching like “omg she didn’t add salt”

[@megandiamond1791]

Am I able to use wild rice instead of orzo?

[@Greenhealthycooking]

You could but you would have to cook it separately as it needs way longer to cook. Orzo is not rice though. It's pasta. It's easier to use any other pasta if you can't get your hands on orzo.

[@KCS4LifeOFFICIAL]

Dill. You forgot about dill.
