Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1.5 cups orzo
  • 2 oz feta, crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then season both sides generously with lemon pepper seasoning.
  • Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add cooking oil. Place chicken thighs skin-down and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  • While chicken browns, finely chop parsley and mince garlic. After removing chicken, turn skillet heat to low, add garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Add orzo and half of the chopped parsley to the broth. Stir to combine. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up.
  • Cover the skillet, turn heat to high, and bring broth to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Fluff the orzo around the chicken. Top with remaining parsley and crumbled feta. Serve immediately!
