Sun-dried Tomato & Pesto Orzo with Chicken

Sun-dried Tomato & Pesto Orzo with Roasted Chicken Breast

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Breasts (I just season and roast these in the oven)

1 tbsp oil from the Sun Dried Tomato Jar (or Olive Oil)

3 cloves minced garlic

1 onion (white, yellow or skip it)

3/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes (the kind in the jar w/oil)

1 tsp Oregano & Paprika


1 cup dried orzo


2 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth


1/2 cup Cream Cheese


1/2 cup pesto


Additional salt & pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped green onion

Directions:

Roast chicken in oven while you create your orzo masterpiece. I drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with S + P and paprika.

Add oil to large pan or wok. Saute onions and garlic. Then add tomatoes and spices. Stir for 5 minutes.

Add orzo and broth and cook for 10 until orzo is almost done. Cover for 5-10 more minutes on low. Add in cream cheese and stir to combine, then add pesto. Let it all combine together and then serve with sliced chicken breast on top. 

Delish!! Let me know if you try it!
