Step 1
Season the Boneless, Skin-On Chicken Thighs (6) with Dried Basil (1 tsp) , Onion Powder (1 tsp) , Salt (to taste) , and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Use a fork to poke some holes in the meat and use your hand to rub the seasoning around the chicken.

Step 4
Meanwhile, in the stock pot with boiling Chicken Broth (7 cups) , cook the Orzo Pasta (2 2/3 cups) for about 5 minutes, then drain. Reserve some pasta water to use later if needed.

To the pan with tomatoes, add Fresh Basil Leaves (2 sprigs) , Garlic (3 cloves) , Italian Seasoning (1/2 tsp) , Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 tsp) , 1 tsp of Lemon Zest (1) , Salt (to taste) , and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Stir to combine.
