INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup dry Orzo Pasta
1 cup Broccoli Florets
2 tbsp Light Cream
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 15-18 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, cook the orzo pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest briefly, then slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the low-sodium chicken broth, light cream, and lemon juice. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer for a minute or two until it thickens slightly.
Add the cooked orzo into the sauce and mix until well coated.
Plate the creamy orzo and top with the sliced chicken breast, then arrange the roasted broccoli on the side. Drizzle any excess sauce over the top and serve immediately.
