GARLIC CHICKEN WITH ORZO NOODLES



Garlic Chicken with Orzo Noodles image

This is a simple recipe with a spicy kick for garlic lovers. It is my combination of a much loved linguine and clam sauce dish and a recent introduction to orzo pasta. I have several variations for this recipe. Add more red pepper for extra spice. Substitute the chicken for clams or shrimp. Substitute the spinach leaves for diced tomatoes. I've also added spices such as basil, rosemary and oregano bringing a distinct Italian flavor to the dish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a stronger flavor than pre-minced or jarred garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use about 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan or the chicken will steam instead of sear. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a pasta that is made with high-quality ingredients and that has a good texture.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the best way to enjoy pasta with a sauce.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce and toss to coat. This will help the pasta absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano, can add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Add them just before serving.

Conclusion:

This garlic chicken with pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the pasta is coated in a creamy garlic sauce. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better.
