Save this simple dinner recipe!
INGREDIENTS
1 & 1/2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
Sea salt and black pepper (to taste, I use about ½ tsp each)
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried rosemary
1 & 1/2 tbsps olive oil
1 large shallot (finely chopped)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup orzo (dry)
2 & 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 of a lemon, juiced
1/2 cup grated parmesan
HOW TO MAKE IT:
1.Season chicken with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary
2.Warm large skillet over medium heat. Add oil once hot. Add the chicken, working in batches if needed, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping once, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove and set aside on a plate.
3.Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shallot and cook for two minutes, then add garlic and orzo. Stir often for about a minute, then add the chicken stock and peas. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook for about 10 minutes (stir frequently to avoid sticking) until the orzo is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
4.Add the chicken back to the skillet, then stir in the lemon juice, grated parmesan, and an additional sprinkle of salt and pepper as desired.
