Method
Step 1

With a slotted spoon transfer chicken to a bowl or plate and set aside.
Step 4
To the pan add broth, orzo, lemon peel, and lemon juice.
Step 5
Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat and boil gently until orzo is tender to bite, about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Return chicken to the pan and simmer just until meat is no longer pink in the center (cut to test), about 7-10 minutes (making sure the internal temperature is at least 165 degree Fahrenheit.)
