Cooking Steps
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions, typically around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Once cooked, drain the orzo in a colander and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup of Marsala wine and 1 cup of chicken broth, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- After the sauce has thickened, return the sautéed chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is well coated in the sauce. Let everything simmer together for an additional 5 minutes.
- To serve, place a scoop of cooked orzo on each plate, laying the tender chicken on top. Drizzle the rich Marsala sauce over the chicken and orzo, garnish with freshly chopped herbs, and enjoy!
