artichoke chicken and parmsan orzo

Recipes that come the heart in a rush/furry in the kitchen are the best. When you come home not even sure how you are going to make it through the rest of the day and take a look in the fridge and find exactly what you need to make a great meal it is truly a beautiful thing.

I came home from a hellish day at work not even interested in making a single darn thing for dinner. I managed enough energy to stumble into the kitchen and see what was available.

I came across the following items...

2 chicken breasts

orzo

fresh parsley

1 can of artichokes

cream

wine

honey

and white wine vinegar

Grab your 2 chicken breasts and dust them with flour, salt and pepper.

Melt 2 tbs of butter and 2 tbs of evoo in a frypan.

Add your chicken when the frypan is nice and hot. That way you get nice color on it.

Then mix 1 1/2 cup of white wine, 2 tbs of white wine vinegar and 2 tbs of honey together.

Then crack open a can of artichoke hearts.

Then cook your orzo like normal. Make sure you have about 2 1/2 cups cooked orzo just follow the directions on the box so you can find out the right amount. Add in 1/2 cup of Parmesan, 2 tbs of cream and a handful of fresh parsley. Be sure to add in salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

Add the wine and artichoke hearts to the cooked chicken. Allow it to simmer for 10 minutes or so until the sauce thickens.

Serve it up with a hearty salad and you have yourself a meal !!!

Enjoy !!!
