I love the versatility of orzo. This everyday orzo is the base to almost all of my variations of orzo and is delicious as is. It pairs well with anything. I love that it can be made with most ingredients you probably already have! But you can change it up so many different ways. I’m sure you’ll see many variations around here.

Instructions

Melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Finely chop the onion and sauté in the butter until tender. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add in the orzo, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir together for a minute to coat the orzo with the butter and seasoning. Add in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat but keep the lid on for 10-15 more minutes until the pasta has absorbed all the liquid and is cooked through. It will be creamy still but the pasta should be tender. Stir in the cheese and place the lid on for a few more minutes so it melts. Top with some chicken and add a side of Brussel sprouts. Yum!!
