Servings: persons

2 cups orzo pasta
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup chicken, diced
1/2 cup mizithra cheese, shredded fine
3 small scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon all purpose Greek seasoning
1 small lemon, juiced

1
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet.
2
Sautee the white portions of the scallions until tender, reserve the green portions.
3
Add pasta and stir frequently until some of the grains are toasted golden brown.
4
Add 1 cup of the chicken broth, and allow it to absorb, stirring frequently. When it's almost dry, add another 1/2 cup of broth. Continue in this fashion until the pasta is al dente. If you need more liquid, just add a bit more water.
5
Add chicken, herbs, rest of scallion, Greek seasoning, and juice from half the lemon, stirring until the chicken is warmed through and the herbs have wilted a bit.
6
The orzo should be soft, and a thick, almost creamy sauce should have developed. At this point, add the myzithra cheese and stir until it's thoroughly incorporated.
7
Add additional salt, pepper, and lemon juice to correct the seasoning.
