Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 30 milliliters
- 1 pound chicken breast thinly sliced, boneless, skinless, 450 grams
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 1 onion peeled and chopped, medium
- 8 ounces button mushrooms thinly sliced, 227 grams
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 cup orzo pasta dried
- 1/4 cup dry white wine 60 milliliters
- 2 1/4 cups chicken broth 530 milliliters
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/4 cup heavy cream 60 milliliters
- 1/4 cup parsley plus more for garnish, chopped, fresh
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for garnish, shredded
Instructions
- In a large pot or skillet, drizzle olive oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook until well browned, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and set aside, leaving some of the olive oil in the pot.
- Add the onions and mushrooms to the now empty pot and cook until softened and most of the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the uncooked orzo and cook, constantly stirring until lightly toasted.
- Pour in the wine while scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze the pan. Add the chicken broth and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Once the broth is bubbling, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring often (especially the bottom and sides), until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the orzo is nearly tender, 8-10 minutes.
- Pour in the cream and add the set-aside chicken and parsley. Cover and cook just until the chicken is heated and cooked through, stirring often to keep the orzo from sticking. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Parmesan. Serve immediately topped with additional parsley and Parmesan if desired.
