A simple and satisfying one-pot meal featuring tender chicken, vibrant broccoli, and creamy orzo pasta, all coated in a delicious cheesy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions

Notes
