Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Casserole: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, uncooked orzo, Greek yogurt, chicken broth, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
