To make this Lemon Chicken Orzo Chowder, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup orzo pasta
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced carrots
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the orzo pasta and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked through.
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and cooked chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Lemon Chicken Orzo Chowder hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This dish is a perfect combination of creamy and tangy flavors that will leave you feeling satisfied and full.
