Zubereitung von Chicken Breasts With Orzo Carrots Dill And Avgolemono Sauce

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stainless-steel skillet over medium heat.
Season 2 (6-ounce) chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Add to the skillet.
Cook chicken for 5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
Add 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt to the skillet.
Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and simmer for 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook 1 cup orzo pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water for 6 minutes.
Add 1 cup chopped carrots (or 1 cup asparagus spears) and cook for an additional 6 minutes, or until orzo and vegetables are tender.
Drain orzo and vegetable mixture and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
In a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until frothy.
Slowly whisk the simmering chicken broth from the skillet into the egg mixture in a thin stream, whisking constantly.
Pour the mixture back into the skillet and whisk over very low heat until the sauce slightly thickens (about 3 minutes). Do not let it boil or it may curdle.
Serve the orzo and vegetables topped with the chicken breasts and creamy avgolemono sauce.
