Work on the orzo and salad while the chicken roasts -- the whole meal will hit the table in about a half hour. When cut into small pieces and roasted at high heat, even bone-in chicken cooks quickly.

    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!

    Simple and delicious! I added toasted sliced almonds to the salad for extra crunch.

    This was an easy and yummy meal. My husband isn't a fan of dill so I halved the amount?

    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.)

    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!

    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.

    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.
