I love orzo but have never cooked it myself so I have been looking forward to making Garlic Parmesan Orzo from allrecipes.
Ingredients:
1 c orzo pasta, cooked according to package
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic (I used 3)
1/4 c butter, cubed
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese (grate before you start, I made the mistake of trying to do it while I was cooking and didn’t have enough time)
2 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp fresh, minced parsley (omitted)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
In a large skillet, saute garlic and butter until tender. Add the orzo, Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until thoroughly heated.
Growing up, Chicken Olive Cacciatora was one of my favorite recipes. The chicken is so moist and flavorful. I have always made it in the oven but my orzo was almost ready so I quickly made it on the stove. This is my quick and easy adaptation for two.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-2″ squares
3 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 c dry white wine
2 Tbsp vinegar
10 black olives
10 green olives (I only had black)
Combine all ingredients in skillet and cook on medium heat until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
