Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breast fillets (about 400g), diced
  • 1 cup orzo (Greek rice pasta)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Wait about 2 minutes until the oil is hot, making sure it doesn't smoke.
  2. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add the diced chicken breast fillets to the pot and sauté for another 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown on all sides. Ensure the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Add the diced carrots, bell pepper, and chopped garlic, and cook everything together for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  5. Sprinkle the paprika, thyme, and oregano over the mixture and stir well to evenly distribute the spices. Let it simmer for 1 minute to release the flavors.
  6. Pour the chicken broth and cream into the pot and bring everything to a boil. Wait until the liquid is bubbling, which takes about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and add the orzo. Stir well to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes until the orzo is al dente and the sauce has thickened.
  8. Season the Onepot Orzo Viking Pot with salt and pepper. Make sure to distribute the spices well to enjoy the full flavor.
  9. Remove the pot from the heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish as desired with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan.
