Ingredients
- 1 chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut into 10 pieces 6 garlic cloves, smashed 2 lemons, quartered 1 teaspoon dried oregano 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 cup orzo 1/2 teaspoon dried dill 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar 3 bunches arugula (12 to 16 ounces total), thick stems removed, washed well
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Set a large saucepan of water to boil.
On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss together chicken, garlic, lemons, oregano, and 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast chicken, skin side up, until golden and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, generously salt boiling water. Add orzo, and cook until al dente; drain well, and return to saucepan. Add dill and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper, and mix gently to combine.
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. When chicken and orzo are ready, add arugula to bowl; toss to coat. Drizzle chicken with pan juices, and serve with lemon wedges, orzo, and arugula salad.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/08/2011 Easy and delicious! I serve the chicken, lemons and garlic over the orzo and add broccoll to the mix as well. So good! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/05/2011 This was very tasty with lots of leftovers. Not always a huge fan of dill but it worked great with this recipe and with the orzo! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/17/2010 Simple and delicious! I added toasted sliced almonds to the salad for extra crunch. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/18/2010 This was an easy and yummy meal. My husband isn't a fan of dill so I halved the amount? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/01/2009 This was just okay. Easy, yes, but the chicken really didn't have much flaver except for the salt and pepper. The lemon really just roasted in the pan, but didn't flavor the chicken that well. The garlic was good but there wasn't enough of it. The orzo was okay, kind of bland. I think that fresh herbs, maybe basil or oregano and parsley, might have brightened it up more than dried dill did. (I served it with Broccoli Rabe sauteed in garlic, olive oil and that was awesome.) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/02/2008 Impress your guests with this awesome dish! Fancy yet simple! Loved it, I have never cooked with lemons but wow what a nice tart blend! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/07/2008 Martha I love this dish very yummy!!!! Beth nyc Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/26/2008 Delicious and easy. I made this as a main dish and served it with pesto pasta, broccoli, and a strawberry and romaine salad, and bread and olive oil. I will make this dish frequently and would definitely serve it to guests! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/16/2008 Very very good, easy and versatile! I added cut fresh asparagus to the chicken, lemons and garlic and they roasted perfectly together. Would be great with roasted tomatoes and squash too! Highly recommend. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/12/2008 Very easy and delicious dinner. I used spinach for the salad since I prefer it over arugula. My 4 year old loved this dinner too. For him, I omitted the dill in the orzo and added parmesan cheese. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/09/2008 Quick, simple and delicious everyday fare that would be perfect for entertaining with just a few switch-ups. Have nade this chicken dish twice, once with the orzo and arugula salad, once with lemon and oregano roasted potatoes and roasted asparagus. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/04/2008 Orzo is a rice shapped pasta. You can use any small pasta. Arugula is also called rocket. If you can't find it you could use watercress. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/04/2008 The chicken smells heavenly while cooking in the oven! And the orzo is delicious. Quick, easy dinner. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/02/2008 It looks good but I am not familiar with orzo and arugula. What would be its counterpart or substitute here in the Philippines? Thanks. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/02/2008 Very easy to make but the results were delicious! I love the addition to dill in the orzo, it just freshens everything up! Maybe try with fresh dill next time? I would definitely make this again. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/29/2008 BTW - "Strew" is a proper word. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/29/2008 Had this last time for dinner. It was awesome! Substituted salad mix for arugula and added chick peas. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/29/2008 can this be done with chicken breasts? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/28/2008 Easy! and delicious. Be brave and have a dinner party with this one. The salad is great with strips of swiss. I didn't have left-overs of anything unfortunately. :) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/27/2008 This is so simple, quick and delicious... ideal when a busy mom like me has to get a hearty dinner quickly on the table. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/25/2008 Yum.... Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/22/2008 This is the perfect pull together meal. lemon, oregano and garlic - just perfect - double the orzo - for great left overs!Martha Stewart Member
