Lemon Orzo

Side dishes often get neglected in my meals. We have them, but they aren?t nearly as creative or thought out as the main meal. I guess I figure if I?m spending so much time on the main course then the sides need to be quick and easy. Generally, I make a vegetable and an additional side (usually rice, pasta, potatoes). Well recently, (I?m almost embarrassed to say this) I discovered orzo. Don?t get me wrong, I knew about orzo, I?ve even cooked with orzo, and I?ve even had a box of it in my cabinet for awhile. But for some reason, it hasn?t crossed my mind to dress it up a little and serve it on the side. Well finally, I did just that. I looked up orzo recipes and didn't find very many that I really wanted to try. I did find one that used lemon but I didn't want to use all of the other ingredients it called for, so I just took the lemon idea and did my own thing. This recipe was nice because it had a very light lemon taste to it and was simple enough that it didn?t overpower my chicken I made that night. It?s definitely is on my ?Use Again? list!
