Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow (cooking) onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 prigs fresh thyme OR 2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 cups (250 ml) whole milk
- 2 cups (250 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
- 500 grams (approx. 2.5 cups) dried orzo pasta
- 1 large head broccoli, finely chopped or blitz in a food processor
- 200 grams goat's cheese (chevre)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cups shredded store bought roast chicken*, meat removed from bones and chopped, skin removed and discarded.
Notes
- * I often will sub in 4 chicken thighs quickly seared in a frying pan. A splash of oil in the pan and salt and pepper are all chicken thighs really need to shine.
- ** To freeze, spoon into freezable containers. I use ramekins, top with plastic wrap, and placed in a freezer bag.
