whipped feta: 1 block (8 ounces), 3oz cream cheese (if I don't have cream cheese in the house, I use greek yogurt), 1 large garlic clove grated on microplane, squeeze of lemon juice, pinch of salt and pepper.
Using an immersion blender, blend all ingredients until smooth.
Sometimes I add honey, red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, etc. It'll make more than you need for a dish like this but it's good as a spread or dip with roasted potatoes.

Oh the marinated pork chops + warm spinach salad w/ the biscuits sounds so good. I was already thinking about the next time I'll bake them again. Don't be surprised if you see me stealing that exact dinner plan sometime in the next few weeks

Baker by Nature biscuit recipe! The only thing I recommend is cutting the sugar down to 1 or 1/2 tbsp sugar, recipe calls for 2 tbsps. They were delicious
edit: I added a heaping 1/4 cup of fresh chives! Used thyme instead of rosemary because it was what I had on hand.

Bread is from NYT Cooking "No Knead Bread"
Lemon chicken orzo soup ingredients
- 1lb chicken thighs cut into small chunks
- Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 celery ribs, diced
- 3 sprigs of thyme, chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- ~6 cups of chicken stock*
- 1 cup dried orzo
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- Parsley for finishing
Instructions for soup
- Heat a couple tbsps of oil in a large pot. Season the chicken with a fat pinch of kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken until it starts to brown. Set aside the chicken
- Sauté the onions, carrots, and celery. Give them a pinch of salt and cook until softened. Stir in the fresh chopped thyme and garlic and cook until fragrant. About 30-60 seconds
- Add the chicken stock and bay leaf. Let mixture come to a boil. Add the orzo** and chicken back to the pot. Let cook until orzo is cooked, about 10-15 mins.
- At the end, add the zest & lemon juice. Sprinkle parsley. Taste for s + p
*Chicken stock. I made my own stock from last night's spatchcock chicken. All of the bones, 1 celery rib, 1 carrot, 1 head of garlic, 1 onion, random herbs that only had a few days left in my fridge. I let it come to a boil and then drop temperature so it's a simmer. I'll top with water 2-3 times and let it simmer for about 5-8 hours. Until it's golden brown and smells like soup! I didn't measure the amount of stock, I'm guessing it's about 6 cups. Might be 7. If using store bought stock, just sub in water w/ bouillon.
**Orzo. Some recipes that I read suggest cooking the orzo on the side so leftovers/the orzo don't get soggy. I knew that I would only have 1-2 servings leftovers so I didn't bother. Have you ever had chicken noodle soup w/ egg noodles left in the soup and the next day they were a soggy mushy mess? That's not what I experienced with the orzo. Here's a 24 hour pic later. Orzo def expanded and soaked up a lot of the soup, but not mushy.
If you have a lot of mouths to feed, I would cook the orzo in the soup. If the soup is going to feed you for 3-4+ days, probably cook the orzo on the side.
