How to Make Tuscany Chicken And Orzo With Bean Dressing
- In a bowl, combine 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp Italian seasoning. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
- Dice 1 medium zucchini and 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes. Combine and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high.
- Remove chicken from marinade; season generously with salt and pepper. Sear chicken in the hot skillet for 3 minutes per side until browned.
- Transfer seared chicken to a greased baking sheet.
- In a large casserole dish, combine 1 cup orzo pasta, diced zucchini, diced tomatoes, and 1 ¾ cups chicken broth.
- Cover tightly with foil.
- Place both the baking sheet with chicken and the casserole dish with orzo into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- While the chicken and orzo bake, prepare the bean dressing: Deglaze the skillet used for searing the chicken with the remaining marinade, scraping up any browned bits.
- Drain and rinse 1 (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans several times.
- Add the beans, 2 tbsp spaghetti sauce, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 bay leaf, and 1 sprig of fresh rosemary to the skillet with the marinade. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by one-third (about 15-20 minutes).
- Remove the bay leaf and rosemary sprig.
- Once the chicken and orzo are cooked (internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F), it's time to assemble!
- Spread the cooked orzo on a serving platter. Arrange the chicken on top. Pour the creamy bean dressing over the chicken and orzo.
