Chicken Orzo Recipe

Introduction

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup orzo pasta
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped bell pepper
• 1 cup chopped zucchini
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and garlic to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the orzo pasta, tomatoes, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
4. Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
5. While the orzo is cooking, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
6. Once the orzo is done, add the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well to combine.
7. Serve the chicken orzo hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
