Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ yellow onion chopped
- 2 celery chopped, stalks
- 2 carrot cut into half-circles
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 ¼ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 6 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 2 cups chicken breast see Note 1, cooked shredded
- ⅔ cup orzo pasta (see Note 2)
- ¾ cups peas frozen
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons parsley flat-leaf, minced
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, celery and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and cook at a lively simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the orzo and cook until the orzo is al dente, 7 to 10 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to ensure that the orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Heat until the chicken and peas are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, and stir in parsley. Serve.
Notes
- Weight Watchers Points: 4 (Blue - Freestyle SP) / 4 (Green) / 4 (Purple)
- Note 1: I used my Instant Pot Shredded chicken. Alternatively, use rotisserie chicken breasts or start with raw chicken breasts (see the post above for more details).
- Note 2: Almost any pasta shape will do. I used orzo, but ditalini and or elbow macaroni are other good small pasta options. If you want something a little bulkier, I recommend farfalle (bowties) or rotini (spirals).
