Chicken orzo pasta with lots of fresh basil is creamy and absolutely delicious to eat. Aren’t one-pan recipes best?? When there is a time crunch or too tired to cook an elaborate meal, all you need is a one-pan recipe. I usually end up making one-pot flavored rice a lot. With only a few ingredients, this one-pot meal is very satisfying. The best thing is you can go as creative as you can in this case. Chicken, shrimp or mushroom, It is up to you what you pair with Orzo. I was planning to add some parmesan, but it was already creamy enough, so skipped the parmesan. But I am sure parmesan will make it even more delicious.
HOW TO MAKE CHCIKEN ORZO ?
There are a couple of things you need to take care of while cooking Orzo. First, cook it just until it is done and the second one is the amount of stock you add while cooking. Anyone one of these goes wrong and you will end with a pot of mushy Orzo. When there is still little liquid in the pan switch off the flame. It might look saucy but once it slightly cools down Orzo will soak up all the liquid.
Can we reheat chicken Orzo?
It is best to serve orzo immediately after cooking. But in the case of any leftovers, it can be refrigerated. Orzo soaks up all the liquids once it has cooled down. So while reheating add little warm stock to it and heat. Then using a fork loosen it up.
