Skillet Chicken Thigh with Creamy Mushroom Orzo and Asparagus
Savor a hearty yet light meal where succulent skillet chicken thigh meets a creamy mushroom orzo and crisp, tender asparagus. The blend of earthy mushrooms and bright asparagus, enriched with a touch of tangy Greek yogurt, creates a comforting plate that’s both balanced and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thigh
50 g Orzo Pasta (dry)
1 cup sliced Mushrooms
6 spears Asparagus
1/4 cup Light Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken thigh generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they begin to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the orzo to the skillet along with 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente and most of the water is absorbed, about 8-10 minutes.
While the orzo cooks, lightly steam or sauté the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir the Greek yogurt into the orzo-mushroom mixture to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Slice the chicken thigh and layer it on top of the creamy orzo. Arrange the asparagus on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced flavors and textures.
