Step‑by‑Step Instructions for One Pot Chicken Orzo
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, chop the onion into small cubes, mince the garlic finely, and dice the bell pepper.
- In a large pot, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken is browned and no longer pink.
- After the chicken is cooked, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Sauté these vegetables for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently until they become tender.
- Stir in the orzo pasta and cook for about 1 minute.
- Pour in enough chicken broth to cover the orzo completely, about 4 cups. Stir in the dried oregano, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Once the 15 minutes are up, remove the lid and fluff the orzo with a fork. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
