A spinach salad or baby mixed green salad and warm crusty bread round out this meal nicely. From Rachel Ray's 30-Minute Comfort Foods. This is very tasty but I think it needs some color - green peas? parsley?
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
29 ounces chicken broth (two cans)
2 cups orzo pasta
1 lb chicken breast, diced
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. In a deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add onion and garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add thyme and broth and bring to a boil.
4. Add orzo and chicken and stir.
5. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover.
6. Cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
7. Stir in cheese and black pepper and serve immediately.
