Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Orzo
- Begin by chopping the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces and cutting the broccoli into florets.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the chopped chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh broccoli florets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
- Pour in the orzo and enough low-sodium broth to cover the mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 9-11 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the orzo is tender, stir in the cheese gradually, allowing it to melt and create a creamy sauce.
- Ladle the Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Orzo into bowls and garnish with additional cheese or fresh herbs.
