Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a 6-quart saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook orzo until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain orzo well and in a large bowl toss with oil, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy skin on the chicken breasts, make sure to pat them dry before cooking.
  • For a flavorful orzo, toast it in olive oil with garlic and rosemary before adding the broth.
  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken breasts. If necessary, cook them in batches to prevent steaming.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh rosemary and lemon zest for a pop of color and flavor.
