Creamy Chicken Orzo is the kind of meal that turns heads... even the name itself is going to have people reaching for their forks! Lightly chewy and tender, the orzo beautifully mixes with the equally tender chicken and garden-fresh vegetables. With an earthy, savory creaminess from the garlic and chicken stock, Creamy Chicken Orzo is a deceptively simple dinner that wows like a first-class meal.
