Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Orzo
Broccoli and rice casserole tops my family's comfort food list, but when we need something fast, this is the stuff. Chicken and veggie orzo cooked on the stovetop speeds everything up. —Mary Shivers, Ada, Oklahoma

I was excited to try this recipe. I don't like using the broccoli with the cheese sauce (is that really cheese?), so I made it as per the recipe except I used plain frozen broccoli and added my own cheese. While I liked the idea, and how it all can go in one pot, it was bland. Next time, maybe I'll cook the orzo in chicken broth, or cook the chicken in Italian dressing. It just needs a little bit more flavor.
Quick and easy recipe. My family and I love everything in this dish but unfortunately we weren't impressed with this recipe. Even though I added more seasoning than what was called for in the recipe, it lacked flavor. Might be better with rotisserie chicken, more butter, spices, and maybe heavy cream. Family really didn't like this one, so won't be trying again.
Easy and tasty. I used a store bought cooked chicken. It was a little thick so I added some chicken broth. Will make again.
Easy and delicious. Reheated well in microwave with a few drops of water added.
was a good quick meal. added more butter than what it called for
