Creamy Lemon-Herb Orzo with Sweet Peas
Chicken breast and orzo simmered in a bright lemon-garlic broth, finished with vibrant sweet peas and a velvety herb-infused yogurt sauce.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.33 cup orzo pasta
0.5 cup frozen sweet peas
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh dill
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the dry orzo to the skillet and toast for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the orzo is tender.
Stir in the frozen sweet peas and lemon zest during the last 2 minutes of cooking to warm through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, and the cooked chicken until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
Serve immediately while warm.
