Description

A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken and creamy orzo, perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the orzo, chicken broth, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook until the orzo is al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Mix in the Parmesan cheese and return the chicken to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Notes

Always season chicken generously and stir orzo frequently to prevent sticking. Adjust cooking time for perfect doneness.
