Ingredients
4 Servings
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 chicken breasts
- 500 ml chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 300 g orzo
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the orzo to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the orzo. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to reheat the chicken.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
