Greek Chicken with Lemon Orzo

YUMMMMM-OH!!!  I LOVE the aroma of lemon and as I walked in the house today, it smelled lemony and delicious!  This Greek Chicken was SO easy to make and it packs lots of flavor.  I served my Greek Chicken with my very own Lemon Orzo.  I'll post my super easy Lemon Orzo recipe below too!
