Instructions

Prep and cook chicken
1
  • Heat a medium non-stick pan (large pan for 4 ppl) over medium-high heat.
  • While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with half the garlic salt and pepper.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear, tossing occasionally, until golden-brown and cooked through, 4-6 min.**
  • Remove from heat, then transfer chicken to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, on a separate cutting board, peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Halve tomatoes.
Cook onions
3
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then onions. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 3-4 min.
Cook orzo
4
  • Add 3 cups (5 cups) warm water, broth concentrate, orzo and remaining garlic salt to the pan with onions. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add tomatoes. Stir to combine.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender and most of the water is absorbed, 14-17 min. (TIP: Reduce heat to medium if broth is boiling away too quickly!)
Finish orzo
5
  • Remove from heat, then add chicken, half the Parmesan and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir until butter melts, 1 min.
