Creamy Lemon-Herb Pea Orzo
Tender chicken and orzo simmered in a bright lemon-garlic sauce with sweet peas and fresh herbs for a velvety finish.
INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat orzo
0.5 cup frozen sweet peas
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp fresh dill
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 cup chicken bone broth
PREPARATION
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with a pinch of the salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and dry orzo to the skillet, stirring for one minute to lightly toast the pasta and release the garlic aroma.
Pour in the chicken bone broth, bring to a gentle simmer, and cover the pan; cook for 8-10 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and orzo is tender.
Stir in the frozen peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking time until they are bright green and heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and dill until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Season with the remaining sea salt and black pepper before serving immediately.
