Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked orzo pasta
  • 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by cooking your orzo according to package instructions. Ensure it’s al dente, as it will continue to cook when mixed with the other ingredients. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Add the cooked orzo into the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir gently until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.
  5. If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it on top during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt and bubble.
  6. Once your Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Orzo is heated through, serve it in bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color!

Notes

For a Halal-friendly option, source chicken products that comply with dietary restrictions. Feel free to use any frozen vegetables you have on hand. Keep an eye on the heat when cooking on the stove to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Avoid overcooking the orzo as it can become mushy.
