Dump-and-bake Lemon Chicken Orzo
"This creamy dump-and-bake lemon chicken orzo is an easy dinner with just 10 minutes of prep. You don’t even have to boil the pasta before the casserole goes into the oven! Why You’ll Love this Recipe: - One Dish. Nobody wants to wash a sink full of dishes at the end of a meal! Fortunately, you can stir everything together in a single baking dish, minimizing the pots and pans to clean later. - Minimal Prep. You don’t even have to cook pasta or prep any ingredients, and the noodles come out tender and perfect every time! It might not be fancy, but you’re going to appreciate the dump-and-bake method of cooking on busy weeknights! - Quick. Since orzo is a small pasta, it cooks faster than other shapes. This means less time in the oven, and dinner on the table sooner. Versatile. Omit the chicken and make it vegetarian, use pre-cooked (or frozen) meatballs, or try sliced fully-cooked Italian sausage. You can also play around with different vegetables, taking advantage of the ingredients that you have on hand."
