Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 small onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
20 ounces chicken broth
1 cup orzo (uncooked)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 head broccoli (chopped into small florets)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (freshly shredded)

Steps:

  • Cube chicken breasts into bite size pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a sauté pan over medium heat, and add one tablespoon of olive oil. When hot, add chicken in a single layer and cook until heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, about 3-4 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Remove from pan, cover, and set aside.
  • Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, add onions, and cook until they begin to brown and turn translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add chicken broth, paprika, red pepper flakes, and orzo to the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes (or, consult your pasta's package directions and cook to al dente, minus 5 minutes).
  • Remove lid and add chopped broccoli. Stir to combine. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing broccoli to steam and pasta to finish cooking. If all of the liquid is absorbed, add an additional 1/4 cup of water as needed.
  • Remove lid and add heavy cream, shredded cheese, and cooked chicken. Stir to combine. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes on low, or until cheese has melted. Remove from heat and allow to set for 5 minutes to allow sauce to thicken before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 chicken drumsticks
2 1/4 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed
2 cups small broccoli florets, stems finely chopped
3/4 cup orzo
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the oil, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add the drumsticks and toss to coat in the spice mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crisp and golden and the drumsticks register 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the broccoli, orzo, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the orzo is al dente and the broccoli begins to get very soft, about 15 minutes. If the pan starts to look too dry, add another splash of chicken broth. Stir in the Parmesan, then use the back of a wooden spoon to slightly mash the broccoli, breaking it up into very small pieces.
  • Serve the drumsticks over the broccoli orzo and garnish with more Parmesan.
