- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

- Add another tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the mixed vegetables. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vibrant and tender.
- Return the sautéed chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked orzo, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chicken broth. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
