    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/24/2013   This is one of my favorite recipes. Personally I don't think the 1 lb of chicken tenderloins is enough for an entire pound of orzo. If you use the orignal recipe go for 1.5-2 lbs of chicken.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/24/2013   I made a variation tonight that came out awesome. I added finely diced shallot to the sauce pan and sauteed for about 5 min. In lieu of orzo, I used a rice blend of long grain brown rice and red quionua. I reduced the amount to 1 cup of rice and two 14 oz cans of chicken broth and omitted the extra water. Lastly I added about 6 sliced baby bella mushrooms. I had to increase the cooking time since it had rice. It thickened up nice and creamy after 50 minutes. Add the parmesan and cook 5 more min.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/02/2011   This recipe is great! Super easy and makes a lot of food, but works well as leftovers. I used 1 tablespoon of dried tyme instead of fresh, which worked great.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/14/2011   We could not stop eating this! It is delicious, creamy and very easy to make. We will definitely make this regularly!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/03/2011   I'm a vegetarian so I tried using Quorn tenders (for the first time) right out of the freezer. Delicious! The flavors were so well balanced and complemented each other. I've been eating leftovers for lunch and enjoying them very much. :D

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/13/2010   Wow! What an easy and delicious dish! I made it using a roasted chicken from the supermarket and served it with sides of spinach, hummus, and sliced pita bread. The flavors are so fresh and everyone in my family loved it! We will definitely be making this again! One tip - take the dish out of the oven at the end of the posted cooking time, then give the dish 20 minutes or so to rest and soak up the remaining juice. This way you won't overcook the orzo but the dish won't be too juicy, either.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/10/2010   I fixed this for dinner the other night and it was well received. I am filling out the grocery list for next week and my wife indicated that if I did not have chicken, lemons and orzo on the list I should not come home. It was great.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/10/2010   We really like this dish. Very quick and easy to make, which is great as I have small children and little time. We hold back on the dill a little, and my husband suggested adding a can of (rinsed) garbanzo beans, which is a great addition to this dish. Just gives it a little more protein and substance. I usually add a couple more ounces of feta too as we LOVE feta.
