This creamy chicken orzo is a cheesy, velvety one-pot dish that’s comfort food at its best. It has tender chicken and orzo smothered in a creamy Parmesan sauce and you can have it on the table in 30 minutes!
Creamy chicken orzo is a homey and comforting one-pot recipe that’s super easy to make and tastes like a real treat.
It’s the perfect dish to make on those days when you don’t feel like cooking something complicated but still want to tuck into a bowl of deliciousness.
Orzo (or risoni as it’s also called) may look like rice but it’s actually pasta. This means that even though this chicken and orzo dish looks a bit like risotto, it’s much quicker to make.
I personally love it with just a bit of half-and-half (single cream) and lots of freshly grated Parmesan.
For a thicker sauce, you can use heavy cream (double cream). Keep in mind, however, that the chicken orzo thickens naturally as it cools down.
