  • 1 TablespoonOil
  • 1 lbChicken Breast(cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 teaspoonSalt
  • 1 teaspoonPepper
  • 2 TablespoonsButter
  • 0.5Onion(finely diced)
  • 4Garlic Cloves(minced)
  • 1.5 cupsBroccoli(cut into small pieces)
  • 1 cupOrzo Pasta
  • 3 cupsChicken Broth
  • 1.5 cupsCheese(1/2 cup of parmesan, 1 cup of cheddar)
  • 1 TablespoonFresh Lemon Juice
  • Fresh Herbs(basil, oregano, or parsley)

Instructions

  1. 1Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces, for about 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Once the chicken is no longer pink, remove it from the skillet and place the chicken plus the juices on a plate. Cover.
  2. 2Add the butter, onion, and broccoli to the skillet and cook until softened about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
  3. 3Add the orzo pasta and toss to coat. Stir in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the orzo is tender, about 10-11 minutes. The orzo should soak up the chicken broth.
  4. 4Stir in 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and 1 cup of cheddar cheese and stir to melt. Add in cooked chicken and stir to coat.
  5. 5Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice into the skillet and stir. Taste for seasonings and add more salt and pepper as needed.
  6. 6Top with fresh herbs, if desired, and freshly grated parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Some ingredients do not say how much, so an amount was assumed for them before any of this was counted:

Orzo Pasta is not in our ingredient list, so it is counted as a typical ingredient.
