PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F. Arrange the asparagus spears on a baking sheet, drizzle them lightly with half the olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender.

  • 2

    Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  • 3

    Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest.

  • 4

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in the dry orzo pasta and toast for 1-2 minutes to infuse flavor.

  • 5

    Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and approximately 1/2 cup water (or low-sodium chicken broth) to the orzo. Bring to a simmer and cook until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 8-10 minutes.

  • 6

    Stir in the light cream cheese until the orzo becomes creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with a little extra lemon juice, salt, or pepper if desired.

  • 7

    Slice the chicken breast and serve it over a bed of the creamy lemon orzo, accompanied by the roasted asparagus. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
