One Skillet Lemon Dill Chicken & Orzo

It goes without saying; the world is a crazy place right now. But amidst all the crazy, I have truly recognized things that bring me joy, comfort, happiness, a MENTAL BREAK. For me, it’s cooking. Taking a workout break. WINE (honesty, people). I think in these trying times, it’s important to find those things, they’re likely different than mine, but think about it! And then do it! Anyways, this Lemon Dill Chicken & Orzo Skillet brought me all of the above + a full belly & heart. Cheers to finding things that bring us joy, comfort, happiness, or whatever we might need these days 🥂 #selfcare
