Lemon-Roasted Chicken with Arugula Salad and Dilled Orzo from The Martha Stewart Show

This delicious simple supper from "The Martha Stewart Show," adapted from the March 2008 issue of Everyday Food, will be a great midweek dinner for the family.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 1 chicken (3 1/2 pounds), cut into 10 pieces
  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 lemons, quartered
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Coarse salt and freshly 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

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring a large saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 quartered lemons, orzo, and arugula salad.
