Ingredients

Main

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 tsp Salt (or to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 small Yellow Onion (finely diced)

Instructions 

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet with oil and butter until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, cook diced onion until softened, then add garlic and orzo, stirring for 1 minute.
  • Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes until orzo is al dente and liquid is absorbed.
