How to Make Baked Chicken And Garlic Orzo
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
- Heat over high heat until hot.
- Add 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Brown chicken for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-high. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine to the skillet.

- In the baking pan, combine 1 cup orzo pasta, 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1/2 cup water, and the wine mixture from the skillet.
- Stir to combine.
- Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the orzo mixture.
- Sprinkle lightly with 1 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper.
- Bake, uncovered, for 60-70 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the orzo is tender.
- Remove the chicken from the baking pan and set aside.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil into the orzo mixture.
- Place the chicken back on top of the orzo.
