Ingredients
- Orzo
- Pumpkin puree
- Boneless skinless chicken breast
- Dry white wine
- Chicken stock
- Shallot
- Fresh garlic
- Fresh sage
- Fresh parsley
- Salt
- Fresh black pepper
- Freshly grated parmesan
- Freshly shaved parmesan
Instructions
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat and add the shallots and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
- Add the boneless skinless chicken breast, cooking until browned and fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, stir in the pumpkin puree, dry white wine, and chicken stock, mixing well.
- Add the orzo, and season with salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, along with fresh sage, and bring to a simmer.
- Cover the skillet and transfer it to a preheated oven, baking until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, discard the sage, and stir in fresh parsley and freshly grated parmesan before serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth. Fresh sage adds great flavor but is also quite bitter, so be sure to remove it before serving.
