Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon Salted Butter divided
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 large Sweet Onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic finely chopped
  • 1 cup Carrots shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup Celery finely chopped
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 1 cup uncooked Orzo
  • 2 cups Chicken or Veg Broth
  • 1 cup Rotisserie Chicken roughly chopped or shredded
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ½ cup Parmigiano grated
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil and 2 tablespoon butter to a heavy bottomed pan (I’m using a braiser) over medium heat. Once hot, add onion and a pinch of salt and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add garlic, shredded carrots, celery, frozen peas, and another pinch of salt and cook down for another few minutes or until the garlic is starting to get tender and fragrant and the veggies are warmed through.
  • Add uncooked orzo and the stock and stir. Once simmering, put the lid on and let cook for about 6 minutes.
  • Remove lid and add chicken and milk and stir once more. Put the lid back on and let the dish cook for 4 more minutes or until the pasta is al dente.
  • If it's still looking a little watery, simply leave the lid off and cook for a few more minutes to evaporate the remaining liquid.
  • Stir in your parmigiano and remaining butter and fish with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
