One-Pan Chicken and Orzo Delight with Artichokes and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Learn how to make delicious One-Pan Chicken and Orzo with Artichokes and Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this cozy dish:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, quartered (canned or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Feel free to swap chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer, or use vegetable broth to make it vegetarian. Cooking is all about adapting to what you have and love.

Instructions

  1. In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and orzo. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the orzo is lightly toasted.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This is where the flavor magic happens!
  4. Add the artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together, then return the chicken to the pan.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  6. Once done, remove from heat and let it sit covered for a few minutes. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese if using. Serve hot and enjoy the love in every bite.

Pro tip: Use a non-stick or well-seasoned pan to avoid sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
