Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken breasts diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup orzo pasta uncooked
  • 2 cup mixed frozen vegetables like peas and carrots
  • 4 cup chicken broth low sodium preferred
  • 1 cup heavy cream for a rich sauce
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional for extra flavor
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for cooking chicken
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp thyme dried or fresh
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 pie crust pre-made for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional minute.
  • Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add orzo and frozen vegetables, reducing heat and simmering for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, letting the mixture thicken slightly.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and cover with pie crust. Cut slits into the crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

For added flavor, you can sprinkle some fresh herbs on top before serving.
