One Pot Chicken Orzo

Instructions

1. 1
   Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
2. 2
   In the same pan, add remaining olive oil and sauté onion for 3 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
3. 3
   Stir in orzo, oregano, and thyme. Toast orzo for 1 minute.
4. 4
   Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Return chicken and any juices to the pan.
5. 5
   Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender and chicken is cooked through.
6. 6
   Stir in peas, Parmesan, lemon zest, and parsley. Cook 2-3 minutes until peas are heated and cheese is melted.
7. 7
   Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve hot with extra parsley and lemon wedges.
