Step 1

Melt butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add in celery and carrots and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes, stirring often.

Step 2

Add stock, chicken, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil on high heat, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Remove chicken from pot and add orzo. Cook uncovered on medium high until the orzo is cooked through (about 10 more minutes), stirring occasionally. Meanwhile shred the chicken with a fork and then place back into the pot, while the orzo is still cooking.

Step 4

Once orzo is cooked, stir in lemon juice, parsley, and dill. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 5

Serve immediately with some extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
