Creamy Chicken Orzo

Step 1: Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add some oil. Place the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until it’s fully cooked and golden brown. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.

Step 3: In the same skillet, melt some butter or heat some oil. Add the chopped shallot and garlic to the skillet and sauté them until they become fragrant and translucent. Then add white wine, chicken stock, orzo pasta, and salt.

Step 4: Stir in the cream and fresh parsley, plus the juice of half a lemon into the skillet. Mix well to combine the ingredients.

Step 5: Slice the cooked chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Stir everything together to coat the chicken and orzo with the sauce.

Step 6: Sprinkle fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the dish. Stir them in gently to incorporate.
