PREPARATION

  • 1

    Begin by cooking the orzo according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 2

    Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.

  • 3

    In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  • 4

    In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  • 5

    Pour in the heavy cream and add the juice and zest of half a lemon. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.

  • 6

    Add the cooked orzo into the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly with the creamy lemon garlic sauce. If needed, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  • 7

    Plate the creamy orzo and gently arrange the sliced chicken breast on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
