The orzo pasta, with its rice-like shape, absorbs the savory juices, creating a rich and satisfying meal. This dish is loved for its robust taste and the harmonious blend of spices including cumin, coriander, and paprika, which add depth and warmth. It’s perfect for a family dinner, offering a balanced meal with protein, carbs, and a touch of greens from fresh herbs. Easy to prepare, this recipe is a crowd-pleaser and a great introduction to Middle Eastern flavors.

Directions

Step 1

Dice the onion and garlic finely. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onions and garlic, sauté until translucent.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the pan, sprinkle with sumac, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides.

Step 5

Stir in the orzo and mix well to coat the grains with the spices and remaining oil.

Step 6

Pour the chicken broth into the pan, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Fluff the orzo with a fork, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
