Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Serves 1 person

Ingredients
  

  • ~1 cup shredded chicken I used rotisserie
  • ¼ leek chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 baby potatoes chopped
  • ¼ cup peas
  • 2 tbsp orzo
  • Lemon zest + juice
  • Dill
  • 2 tbsp White wine
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and then the chopped leek, garlic and potatoes. Sautée for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want to get a slight golden colour but not burn anything here. Season with salt & pepper.
  • Add in the orzo, stir for another minute and lightly toast, then deglaze with the white wine and add in the broth. Bring to a slight bubble and let simmer over low-medium for about 10 minutes as the potato and orzo become tender. If using fresh peas, add these in during the last 4-5 minutes. If using frozen peas, add these in the last 2 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are tender and the orzo is cooked, stir in the shredded chicken and then finish with lemon juice to taste.
  • Garnish with lemon zest, fresh dill and an optional drizzle of olive oil.
