This One Pot Orzo Chicken recipe features tender chicken thighs cooked with orzo, garlic, shallots, and herbs, creating a delicious and flavorful dish. It's an easy, comforting meal perfect for any day of the week.
1: Start by seasoning your chicken with your favorite seasoning blend, you know I always use Gibsons.
2: Heat braiser or large ovenproof pan on medium. Add in the butter and sear the chicken on each side for 3-4 minutes, then remove to a plate. The chicken will not be fully cooked.
3: Add more butter to the pan if needed and add in garlic and shallots. Stir for one minute.
4: Add in the orzo, stir to coat and cook for 2 minutes to slightly toast.
5: Add in the chicken broth, stir. Add the chicken and any resting juices into the pan. Cover, leaving just a small opening and add to the oven.
6: Set a timer for 15 minutes, then stir to ensure nothing sticks to the pan. Set another timer for 15 minutes, stir again. Then continue cooking for 5-15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and all of the cooking liquid has been absorbed.
7: Top with freshly grated parm and enjoy.
