Yummy Greek Chicken!

Sometimes recipes sound good on paper, but when you actually make it, it gets an "eh" at best. Sometimes they look boring on paper, but turn out awesome! (That's a pleasant surprise :-))
But then sometimes, the stars align and it looks just as good as it tastes. Try this one out :-)

Chicken, Lemon, and Dill with Orzo

4 c. chicken broth
3/4 c. water
1 T. butter
1 1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 lb chicken, diced
1 lb. orzo
2 c. crumbled feta or goat cheese (4 oz.)
1/4 c. coarsely chopped fresh dill
2 t. lemon zest
1 T. lemon juice
1 c. grated Parmesan (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a saucepan, bring broth, water, butter, salt, pepper. In a 9x13 pan, combine chicken, orzo, feta, dill, lemon zest and juice. Pour broth mixture over orzo and stir once to incorporate. bake until orzo is tender and cooking liquid is creamy, 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
