Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

- Stir in orzo and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes until orzo is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Remove from heat and stir in ricotta and Parmesan cheese until creamy and well combined.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
