Steps:
- While chicken is still on the cutting board, pat it dry and season with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon paprika and ¼ teaspoon pepper; set aside.
- Melt butter in olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat until hot. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add chicken and broccoli and cook until most off the chicken is opaque (chicken will not be cooked through). Add orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook an additional 1 1/2 minutes.
- Whisk 1 cup chicken broth with the cornstarch and add to the pot. Add remaining chicken broth and all remaining ingredients up to the "Add Later"/ cheeses.
- Cover the pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until orzo is tender, stirring every couple minutes so the orzo doesn't burn on the bottom, and replacing the lid. Add additional broth if the orzo isn't done and most of the liquid is evaporated.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted followed by mozzarella until melted. Stir in fresh basil. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper (I add ¼ teaspoon more of each). If desired, you can make the dish "saucier" by stirring in additional broth, milk or cream.
CREAMY BASIL CHICKEN
If you've got a robust basil crop, then this flavorful and aromatic Basil Chicken in a creamy pan sauce is a recipe you'll keep coming back to. It's a great alternative when you've satisfied every pesto and caprese craving. Perfectly seasoned, pan seared chicken gives way to a creamy pan sauce bursting with bold flavors from both dried and fresh basil. Even sun-dried tomatoes stage a comeback (remember when those were in everything?!) to add some tangy acidity and balance out freshly-grated parmesan cheese. What's not to love?

Steps:
- Place one chicken breast onto a sheet of parchment paper, then fold the paper over the chicken. Use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1". Set aside and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Season chicken on all sides with salt, pepper, and dried basil.
- Heat a 12" skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil, heat until it shimmers, then add the chicken breasts in a single layer. Sear 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear on the other side 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken using tongs to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter and heat until it melts then foams. Add shallot and saute, stirring frequently, until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, stir to toss with shallots, and saute 1 minute more.
- Add white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then add the chicken broth. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Add heavy cream and whisk for 30 seconds, until smooth. Add the parmesan cheese, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking in between until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the fresh basil leaves.
- Return chicken to the pan and simmer in the sauce until cooked through and the chicken reaches 165°F using an instant read thermometer, 5-7 minutes. Spoon sauce over the chicken and garnish with more fresh basil.

CREAMY PASTA WITH CHICKEN, BROCCOLI AND BASIL - LOW FAT VERSION
This comes from a Pam Anderson recipe. I love creamy pastas like alfredos, etc... but don't like all the fat. This recipe is a great solution. By using 2 percent evaporated milk, instead of heavy cream, the fat content is cut considerably. The flavor and consistency is still wonderful, in my opinion. I love this recipe because: it's lower in fat; you can use left-over chicken (or cooked rotisserie chicken); cooking the broccoli in the same pot as the pasta saves an extra pot to wash, it's an easy one-dish meal! There are many variations you could try with this recipe, too. Notes: 1.this recipe calls for diced tomatoes - if you'd prefer a more traditional alfredo-type sauce, I think you could probably omit the tomatoes and it would be just fine. 2. Also, if you like your pasta spicier you could add more red pepper flakes than the amount called for. 3. I find it very helpful to have all my ingredients prepped/chopped and ready before I start cooking - especially for this recipe. 4. Make sure you reserve about a cup of the pasta cooking water - it helps to thin out the finished product, if necessary. Have fun and enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil - add a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.
- Add pasta and use the cooking time given on the package to cook your pasta al dente. Stir frequently at first to prevent pasta from sticking.
- Add the broccoli to the boiling pasta water during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile, microwave broth, milk and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl until steamy hot (approx. 3 to 4 minutes). Then let it stand for a few minutes.
- Put butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- After butter melts, whisk in flour, then hot milk mixture. Whisk constantly over medium-low to medium heat until sauce thickens. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes. You judge as to when the sauce thickens up.

- Salt and pepper to taste and let simmer for about 5 minutes to blend flavors.
- Drain pasta and broccoli, *reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid* and return to pasta pot.

- Toss and serve immediately with a light sprinkling of parmesan.
- Enjoy!
