Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 450 grams uncooked orzo
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 950 milliliters chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add to skillet. Cook until both sides are golden brown and nearly cooked through.
  2. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in orzo to coat with butter and garlic.
