Prep: 15 min

Total Time: 45 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 medium Leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick

1 Celery Stalk, sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick

12 ounces skinless Chicken Breasts

6 cups low-sodium Chicken Broth

1/2 cup Orzo

1/4 cup chopped fresh Dill

Kosher Salt, freshly Ground Pepper

Lemon Halves, (for serving)

Instructions

Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add leek and celery and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are soft, 5-8 minutes. Add chicken and broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Let cool, then shred chicken into bite-size pieces.

Meanwhile, return broth to a boil. Add orzo and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes.

Remove pot from heat. Stir in chicken and dill. Serve with lemon halves for squeezing over.
