Mediterranean Chicken and Orzo

My love for the Mediterranean eat of life has consumed me! Lol 😆

I care across this recipe on Eating Well and I had to make it! I made a few small changes in the ingredients to my liking but it came out delicious. The lemon gives it such a light refreshing taste. It basically tastes like spring!

Mediterranean Chicken and Orzo

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed

1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
