Description
A comforting classic combining tender chicken, vibrant broccoli, and orzo pasta, all enveloped in a creamy, cheesy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the orzo and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Notes
For perfect results, avoid overcooking the chicken to prevent it from becoming dry and ensure the orzo is cooked to a tender consistency.
