Gorgonzola Chicken and Orzo image

Delicious, warm, and rich, this dish is easy to prepare. I consider it a comfort food. It travels well, too, so is good for taking along to a friend's house or potlucks.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 cups chopped white onions
1 clove garlic, minced
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon, zest of
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3-1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola, to taste

Steps:

  • Trim the fat from the chicken breasts, then cut into bite size pieces.
  • Over medium-high heat, melt together the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick pan with high sides, then add the onion and sauté, stirring often, until just tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and chicken pieces sauté until chicken is browned on all sides, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the broth, orzo, lemon juice, oregano, basil, lemon zest, and pepper into to chicken mixture and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until pasta is to desired texture.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola, and serve.
  • Goes well with a salad, crisp baby green beans, or asparagus.
  • For a change of pace, try this recipe using cubed (boneless and skinless) turkey, duck, or even goose!
  • A bit of proscuitto sauteed in with the chicken is good, too (not much, though - only about a tablespoon).
