Creamy Chicken & Orzo Pasta
Need something quick that doesn’t skimp out on flavor! Here is your dish. A one pot dish that is ready in 30 minutes or less that your husband AND children will love. It also has room for so many variations.
Ingredients:
1 lb Chicken Breast
2 minced garlic cloves (or however many your heart tells you that day)
2 Cups Chicken Stock or Bone Broth
1 Cup Orzo
1 Cup Shredded Parmesan
1 Cup Half/Half or Heavy Cream
~ 5 oz Diced Sun Dried Tomatoes (in oil)
Instructions:
Dice chicken and cook in a heavy pot with garlic pepper and salt. Your favorite seasoning for chicken is perfect.
Remove from pot and add your minced garlic. Cook briefly, without burning, before adding chicken stock.
Get your chicken stock to a boil and then add your orzo.
once the orzo soaks most of the liquid, add in your cheese and dairy.
Mix well then fold in the chickens and tomatoes.
There is is! It’s that easy! I do like to sprinkle a little red pepper flakes and extra parmesan cheese on the top.
*Some other variations could be to add:
Mushroom
Zucchini
Brocolli
