The chicken is finished in a yummy lemon pan sauce with orzo pasta and fresh parmesan. This cozy skillet dinner is delicious and simple to make!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nI set out to create a warming, but light dish\u2014something comforting for the colder days most of us are still experiencing but a little lighter and fresher for the longer spring days ahead.<\/p>\nFor the sauce, I used a mix of chicken bone broth, dry white wine, and, of course, fresh lemon juice! Whole milk and parmesan cheese make this sauce deliciously creamy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nThe idea here is you want the orzo to sit in the lemon cream sauce, and you want the sauce to thicken up just enough so that the chicken can really be \u201csmothered\u201d in it. It\u2019s so delicious this way!<\/p>\nThis dish feels cozy yet light. Perfect for upcoming spring days!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nThese are all the Details<\/h2>\nIngredients\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\nthinly sliced chicken breasts or small chicken thighs<\/li>\nall purpose flour<\/li>\npaprika<\/li>\ndried thyme<\/li>\nsalted butter<\/li>\ngarlic<\/li>\nChili flakes<\/li>\nchicken broth<\/li>\nwhite wine \u2013 or you can use additional broth<\/li>\nchopped kale or baby spinach<\/li>\ndry orzo pasta<\/li>\nwhole milk \u2013 or use canned\u00a0 <\/span>coconut milk<\/li>\nparmesan cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSpecial Tools\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\nIf you have one, I highly recommend a cast iron oven-safe skillet<\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1:<\/b>\u00a0season the chicken<\/h6>\nBefore you begin cooking, season and flour the chicken. Start by seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, dredge the chicken through a mix of paprika, half of the dried thyme, and a scoop of flour. Press the flour mix onto the cutlets to fully coat.<\/p>\nIf you need to be gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free flour or an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend.<\/p>\nThe flour creates a coating that allows the sauce to thicken and become crisp.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b>\u00a0sear the chicken<\/h6>\nFind a big skillet. I always use\u00a0cast iron<\/span><\/a>. Cook the chicken with a sliver of butter. Pan-sear the chicken until the crust is golden and the butter browns around it.<\/p>\nAdd more butter, garlic, dried thyme, and chili flakes. Cook until you can really smell that garlic.<\/p>\nStep 3:<\/b>\u00a0make the lemon pan gravy<\/h6>\nNext, add the wine. Cook for a few minutes, then add the broth. Next, add the kale or spinach and season with salt and pepper.\u00a0<\/p>\nLet the broth simmer for 5 minutes.<\/p>\nStep 4:<\/strong>\u00a0add the orzo<\/h6>\nAdd the orzo and milk to the pan. Cook for 5 or 10 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice and parmesan. Top the dish with basil.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 5:<\/b>\u00a0bake and finish<\/h6>\nTake the skillet off the burner and put it in the oven to finish cooking and melt the cheese even more. When the cheese has melted, remove the dish from the oven.<\/p>\nYou should hopefully have some sauce surrounding the chicken and the orzo. Add lots of fresh basil. It\u2019s going to look delish and smell even better.<\/p>\nAll will enjoy the simple skillet chicken and orzo \u2013 it\u2019s such a crowd-pleaser!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other simple dinners?

Lemon Cream Sauce Smothered Chicken and Orzo: Lightly seasoned chicken seared until golden with nutty browned butter, garlic, thyme, and fresh basil. The chicken is finished in a yummy lemon pan sauce with orzo pasta and fresh parmesan. This cozy skillet dinner is delicious and simple to make!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I set out to create a warming, but light dish\u2014something comforting for the colder days most of us are still experiencing but a little lighter and fresher for the longer spring days ahead.<\/p>\n
For the sauce, I used a mix of chicken bone broth, dry white wine, and, of course, fresh lemon juice! Whole milk and parmesan cheese make this sauce deliciously creamy.<\/p>\n
The idea here is you want the orzo to sit in the lemon cream sauce, and you want the sauce to thicken up just enough so that the chicken can really be \u201csmothered\u201d in it. It\u2019s so delicious this way!<\/p>\n
This dish feels cozy yet light. Perfect for upcoming spring days!<\/p>\n
Ingredients\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\nthinly sliced chicken breasts or small chicken thighs<\/li>\nall purpose flour<\/li>\npaprika<\/li>\ndried thyme<\/li>\nsalted butter<\/li>\ngarlic<\/li>\nChili flakes<\/li>\nchicken broth<\/li>\nwhite wine \u2013 or you can use additional broth<\/li>\nchopped kale or baby spinach<\/li>\ndry orzo pasta<\/li>\nwhole milk \u2013 or use canned\u00a0 <\/span>coconut milk<\/li>\nparmesan cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSpecial Tools\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\nIf you have one, I highly recommend a cast iron oven-safe skillet<\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1:<\/b>\u00a0season the chicken<\/h6>\nBefore you begin cooking, season and flour the chicken. Start by seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, dredge the chicken through a mix of paprika, half of the dried thyme, and a scoop of flour. Press the flour mix onto the cutlets to fully coat.<\/p>\nIf you need to be gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free flour or an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend.<\/p>\nThe flour creates a coating that allows the sauce to thicken and become crisp.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b>\u00a0sear the chicken<\/h6>\nFind a big skillet. I always use\u00a0cast iron<\/span><\/a>. Cook the chicken with a sliver of butter. Pan-sear the chicken until the crust is golden and the butter browns around it.<\/p>\nAdd more butter, garlic, dried thyme, and chili flakes. Cook until you can really smell that garlic.<\/p>\nStep 3:<\/b>\u00a0make the lemon pan gravy<\/h6>\nNext, add the wine. Cook for a few minutes, then add the broth. Next, add the kale or spinach and season with salt and pepper.\u00a0<\/p>\nLet the broth simmer for 5 minutes.<\/p>\nStep 4:<\/strong>\u00a0add the orzo<\/h6>\nAdd the orzo and milk to the pan. Cook for 5 or 10 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice and parmesan. Top the dish with basil.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 5:<\/b>\u00a0bake and finish<\/h6>\nTake the skillet off the burner and put it in the oven to finish cooking and melt the cheese even more. When the cheese has melted, remove the dish from the oven.<\/p>\nYou should hopefully have some sauce surrounding the chicken and the orzo. Add lots of fresh basil. It\u2019s going to look delish and smell even better.<\/p>\nAll will enjoy the simple skillet chicken and orzo \u2013 it\u2019s such a crowd-pleaser!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other simple dinners?

Special Tools\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
If you have one, I highly recommend a cast iron oven-safe skillet<\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSteps<\/h2>\nStep 1:<\/b>\u00a0season the chicken<\/h6>\nBefore you begin cooking, season and flour the chicken. Start by seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, dredge the chicken through a mix of paprika, half of the dried thyme, and a scoop of flour. Press the flour mix onto the cutlets to fully coat.<\/p>\nIf you need to be gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free flour or an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend.<\/p>\nThe flour creates a coating that allows the sauce to thicken and become crisp.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b>\u00a0sear the chicken<\/h6>\nFind a big skillet. I always use\u00a0cast iron<\/span><\/a>. Cook the chicken with a sliver of butter. Pan-sear the chicken until the crust is golden and the butter browns around it.<\/p>\nAdd more butter, garlic, dried thyme, and chili flakes. Cook until you can really smell that garlic.<\/p>\nStep 3:<\/b>\u00a0make the lemon pan gravy<\/h6>\nNext, add the wine. Cook for a few minutes, then add the broth. Next, add the kale or spinach and season with salt and pepper.\u00a0<\/p>\nLet the broth simmer for 5 minutes.<\/p>\nStep 4:<\/strong>\u00a0add the orzo<\/h6>\nAdd the orzo and milk to the pan. Cook for 5 or 10 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice and parmesan. Top the dish with basil.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 5:<\/b>\u00a0bake and finish<\/h6>\nTake the skillet off the burner and put it in the oven to finish cooking and melt the cheese even more. When the cheese has melted, remove the dish from the oven.<\/p>\nYou should hopefully have some sauce surrounding the chicken and the orzo. Add lots of fresh basil. It\u2019s going to look delish and smell even better.<\/p>\nAll will enjoy the simple skillet chicken and orzo \u2013 it\u2019s such a crowd-pleaser!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other simple dinners?

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the flour, paprika, and 1 teaspoon thyme in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken through the flour and toss to coat, using most of the flour.<\/span>3. Arrange 1 tablespoon of butter and the chicken in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Sear on both sides until golden, 3-5 minutes per side. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to brown around the chicken. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon of thyme, chili flakes, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.<\/span>4. Add the wine and the broth. Mix in the kale. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the milk and orzo. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Sprinkle over the parmesan and basil. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickening. Top with fresh basil. <\/span>5. Serve the chicken, orzo, and sauce with crusty bread for mopping up all that delicious creamy sauce.

Before you begin cooking, season and flour the chicken. Start by seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, dredge the chicken through a mix of paprika, half of the dried thyme, and a scoop of flour. Press the flour mix onto the cutlets to fully coat.<\/p>\n
If you need to be gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free flour or an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend.<\/p>\n
The flour creates a coating that allows the sauce to thicken and become crisp.<\/p>\n
Find a big skillet. I always use\u00a0cast iron<\/span><\/a>. Cook the chicken with a sliver of butter. Pan-sear the chicken until the crust is golden and the butter browns around it.<\/p>\nAdd more butter, garlic, dried thyme, and chili flakes. Cook until you can really smell that garlic.<\/p>\nStep 3:<\/b>\u00a0make the lemon pan gravy<\/h6>\nNext, add the wine. Cook for a few minutes, then add the broth. Next, add the kale or spinach and season with salt and pepper.\u00a0<\/p>\nLet the broth simmer for 5 minutes.<\/p>\nStep 4:<\/strong>\u00a0add the orzo<\/h6>\nAdd the orzo and milk to the pan. Cook for 5 or 10 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice and parmesan. Top the dish with basil.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStep 5:<\/b>\u00a0bake and finish<\/h6>\nTake the skillet off the burner and put it in the oven to finish cooking and melt the cheese even more. When the cheese has melted, remove the dish from the oven.<\/p>\nYou should hopefully have some sauce surrounding the chicken and the orzo. Add lots of fresh basil. It\u2019s going to look delish and smell even better.<\/p>\nAll will enjoy the simple skillet chicken and orzo \u2013 it\u2019s such a crowd-pleaser!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking for other simple dinners?

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the flour, paprika, and 1 teaspoon thyme in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken through the flour and toss to coat, using most of the flour.<\/span>3. Arrange 1 tablespoon of butter and the chicken in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Sear on both sides until golden, 3-5 minutes per side. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to brown around the chicken. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon of thyme, chili flakes, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.<\/span>4. Add the wine and the broth. Mix in the kale. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the milk and orzo. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Sprinkle over the parmesan and basil. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickening. Top with fresh basil. <\/span>5. Serve the chicken, orzo, and sauce with crusty bread for mopping up all that delicious creamy sauce.

Add more butter, garlic, dried thyme, and chili flakes. Cook until you can really smell that garlic.<\/p>\n
Next, add the wine. Cook for a few minutes, then add the broth. Next, add the kale or spinach and season with salt and pepper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let the broth simmer for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
Add the orzo and milk to the pan. Cook for 5 or 10 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice and parmesan. Top the dish with basil.<\/p>\n
Take the skillet off the burner and put it in the oven to finish cooking and melt the cheese even more. When the cheese has melted, remove the dish from the oven.<\/p>\n
You should hopefully have some sauce surrounding the chicken and the orzo. Add lots of fresh basil. It\u2019s going to look delish and smell even better.<\/p>\n
All will enjoy the simple skillet chicken and orzo \u2013 it\u2019s such a crowd-pleaser!<\/p>\n

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the flour, paprika, and 1 teaspoon thyme in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken through the flour and toss to coat, using most of the flour.<\/span>3. Arrange 1 tablespoon of butter and the chicken in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Sear on both sides until golden, 3-5 minutes per side. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to brown around the chicken. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon of thyme, chili flakes, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.<\/span>4. Add the wine and the broth. Mix in the kale.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the flour, paprika, and 1 teaspoon thyme in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken through the flour and toss to coat, using most of the flour.<\/span>3. Arrange 1 tablespoon of butter and the chicken in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Sear on both sides until golden, 3-5 minutes per side. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to brown around the chicken. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon of thyme, chili flakes, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.<\/span>4. Add the wine and the broth. Mix in the kale. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the milk and orzo. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Sprinkle over the parmesan and basil. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickening. Top with fresh basil. <\/span>5. Serve the chicken, orzo, and sauce with crusty bread for mopping up all that delicious creamy sauce.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the flour, paprika, and 1 teaspoon thyme in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken through the flour and toss to coat, using most of the flour.<\/span>3. Arrange 1 tablespoon of butter and the chicken in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Sear on both sides until golden, 3-5 minutes per side. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to brown around the chicken. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon of thyme, chili flakes, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.<\/span>4. Add the wine and the broth. Mix in the kale. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the milk and orzo. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Sprinkle over the parmesan and basil. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickening. Top with fresh basil. <\/span>5. Serve the chicken, orzo, and sauce with crusty bread for mopping up all that delicious creamy sauce.
