Marsala Chicken Orzo: An Amazing Secret Recipe You’ll Love

  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
– 1 cup orzo pasta
– 1 cup Marsala wine
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon butter
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Marsala Chicken Orzo:

1. Cook the Orzo: In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Onions: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
4. Add Marsala Wine: Pour in Marsala wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow the wine to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, letting it reduce slightly.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, along with the heavy cream and dried oregano. Stir to combine.
6. Add Orzo: Incorporate the cooked orzo into the skillet, mixing until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
7. Simmer: Let everything simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld together.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
