Cooking Steps

Cook orzo
1
  • Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return orzo to the same pot, off heat.
Cook chicken
2
  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over half the Dill-Garlic Spice Blend. 
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Cook chicken in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.
  • Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-10 min.**

  • Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
  • Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Add tomato sauce base to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it coats onions, 1-2 min.

  • Once orzo is done, add onions, reserved pasta water, remaining Dill-Garlic Spice Blend and half the chicken stock powder (use all for 4 ppl) to the pot with orzo.
