Ingredients
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup milk (any type)
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
• Step 1: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Step 2: In the same pan, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
• Step 3: Pour in the chicken broth and milk, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the uncooked orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
• Step 4: Return the seared chicken to the pan, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
• Step 5: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy!
