Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1.5 cups orzo
  • 2 oz crumbled feta

Instructions
 

  • Blot chicken thighs dry and season liberally with 2 Tbsp lemon pepper seasoning.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken thighs skin-side down for 6-8 minutes, then flip and brown the other side. Remove chicken.
  • Sauté minced garlic in residual fat for about a minute. Add 2 cups chicken broth and stir to dissolve browned bits.
  • Add orzo and half of the parsley. Return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Cover and bring to a boil on high heat.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until most broth is absorbed and orzo is tender.
  • Fluff orzo with a fork, then top with remaining parsley and crumbled feta. Serve and enjoy!
