Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Orzo
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the orzo and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
