Step-by-step recipe
Step 1:
Cut the chicken fillet into small cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. These simple ingredients make a hearty dish—chicken and pasta in a creamy sauce.
Step 2:
Heat a frying pan with oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Transfer to a separate bowl—they will become the base for a flavorful creamy sauce.
Step 3:
In the same pan, fry the chicken pieces until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper—the pepper will enhance the chicken's flavor.
Step 4:
Return the fried onions and garlic to the pan. Pour in the cream, stir, and bring to a gentle simmer. This will create a smooth, creamy sauce for the rice to simmer in.
Step 5:
Add the orzo pasta to the pan. Stir thoroughly, cover, and simmer over low heat for 15–20 minutes, until the pasta has absorbed the liquid and is fluffy.
Step 6:
Serve the finished dish among plates and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. This chicken and pasta dish is the perfect choice for a cozy dinner.
Cooking tips
For a richer flavor, add a pinch of paprika or herbs like fresh parsley. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little water or broth.
