How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Orzo
  1. Dice Chicken: Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Chop Veggies: Next, chop the medium onion, dice the carrots, and chop the celery.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions until they become translucent, then invite the garlic, carrots, and celery to the party. Cook these until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Cook Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
  5. Simmer: Stir in the low-sodium chicken broth along with the uncooked orzo. Bring everything to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Combine Creaminess: Mix in the sour cream and dried thyme until everything is well combined.
  7. Serve Hot: Finally, serve your delicious Chicken Pot Pie Orzo hot!
