Creamy Chicken, Broccoli, and Orzo Skillet

This Creamy Chicken, Broccoli, and Orzo Skillet is the perfect quick and easy one pan dinner!

Ingredients

• Chicken – I used rotisserie chicken to speed up the process, but you can also dice up a chicken breast and cooked it after the onion but before you add in the orzo and broth.
• Oil – I almost always use avocado or olive oil when cooking, but you can swap for whatever oil you have on hand.
• Onion – diced finely adds flavor to the dish.
• Broccoli – I used frozen, but fresh works great too!
• Orzo – you can swap out for rice here, but the cook time will need to be adjusted
• Heavy Cream – just a touch to add creaminess
• Cheese – I used cheddar, but any of your favorites would be great
• Seasonings – salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings.

How to Make Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

• In a large skillet add oil and onion. Cook until onion begins to become soft and translucent.
• Add in orzo, cooked chicken, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
• Once orzo is soft stir in heavy cream and shredded cheese. Stir until well combined and cheese is melted.
