Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 3

Add cubed chicken breast to the skillet. Season with salt and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Step 4

Stir in orzo and saffron, cooking for about 2 minutes to lightly toast the orzo.

Step 5

Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 6

Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest and top with chopped pistachios before serving.
