I have made this recipe several times and love the diversity of it....i like it with chicken added in. I also use chicken "stock". I find that the stock instead of the broth is much more flavorful. You can find the stock right there along with the broth. This is also great for leftovers ! Thank you for posting Elena.

This was so good. I love orzo and rice, but had never made them together, so this was a real treat. I used chicken broth instead of the water and bouillon. I also added a little poultry seasoning to it for flavor. I will make this again soon. I'd like to add some chicken and peas too. A very good side to go with anything.

Very good and easy, and I now make it almost every week! I use vegan margarine and light olive oil, and vegan "chicken" buillon, and throw in a minced shallot or some dried onion at the end of the sautee stage, and it adds just a touch of kick to it. Thanks for a keeper! (I'm making some right now!)
