Preparation
Make the garlic butter
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Mince the garlic.
- In a small bowl, microwave ½ the garlic and 1 tbsp butter, in 15 sec. increments, until melted.
Roast the chicken
- Pat the chicken* dry and drizzle with oil; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, flipping halfway, 20 to 25 min., until cooked through.
- In the last 2 min., drizzle with the garlic butter.
Roast the broccoli
- Meanwhile, on a second lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large) with a drizzle of oil, ½ the remaining spices and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Boil the orzo
- Meanwhile, add the orzo to the pot of boiling water and boil, 9 to 10 min., until just tender.
- Drain and rinse.
- Transfer to a bowl and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
- Reserve the pot.
Make the sauce & combine the orzo
- In the same pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the tomato sauce, cream, remaining spices and S&P; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to thicken.
- Add the orzo, cheese, 2 tbsp butter, ¼ cup water and S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the orzo between your plates.
- Top with the chicken (slice beforehand if desired) and broccoli. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
