Creamy Parmesan Chicken with Orzo  

Ingredients 
450g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed 
210g orzo pasta 
350ml chicken stock
240ml double cream
50g Parmesan cheese, grated 
2 tbsp olive oil 
1 tbsp/14g butter 
1 onion, diced 
3 cloves garlic, minced 
1 tbsp tomato paste 
1 tsp paprika 
Salt and pepper to taste 
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)  

Directions 
Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. 
Cook the chicken cubes for about 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. 
Remove and set aside. 
Sauté the aromatics: In the same skillet, add another tbsp of olive oil and the butter. Add the diced onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. 
Stir in garlic and tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. 
Cook the orzo: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing to a simmer. Stir in the orzo and reduce the heat to medium-low. 
Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and the sauce has thickened. 
Add Parmesan and chicken: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss everything together. 
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!
