Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and toast the orzo for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until orzo is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Return chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the orzo. Warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Serve garnished with additional parsley and grated Parmesan if desired.
