Marry Me Chicken & Orzo

Instructions

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 4 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

5. Add the orzo pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

6. Return the chicken to the skillet and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Stir gently to combine everything and allow the cheese to melt. Garnish with basil.
