Chicken Noodle flavour with a risotto-like texture.
Our Creamy Chicken Orzo has a similar warming, comforting flavour profile to Chicken Noodle Soup but is much more filling than risotto. This is a quick and easy meal, which can be prepared in one pot. It has a lot of delicious ingredients, including chewy orzo pasta and aromatic vegetables, as well as juicy chicken. The sauce is creamy and velvety. This recipe does not contain any cream.
Serves 4
10m prep time
20m cook time
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small white onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
1 lb orzo pasta
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Fresh parsley, minced, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add onion, celery, and carrots and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Stir in chicken broth, and bring to a boil.
Stir in chicken, orzo, dried thyme, and rosemary. Simmer for 20 minutes, reducing heat if necessary, until orzo is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
