Marinate your chicken in the seasonings listed above under “chicken”. Marinate for at least 30 mins-1 hour. 2. In a pan on medium high heat, drizzle a little oil and cook your chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan. 3. In the same pan, lower the heat and add your unsalted butter and honey. Once it starts to simmer, add back your chicken on baste the chicken in the sauce for about 2 minutes or until fully coated. Set the chicken aside and drizzle a majority of the honey butter on top. Keep a little bit of honey butter in the pan to cook the veggies with. 4. In the same pan, turn heat up to medium and add your diced onions, diced peppers, and garlic, Sauté until softened (2-3 minutes) and add the tomato paste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomato paste slightly darkens. 5. Add orzo and sauté for 1-2 minutes- stirring often so orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. 6. Pour in chicken broth and add garlic powder, onion powder, cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well. 7. Reduce to a simmer and let the orzo cook uncovered for about 10-14 minutes until al-dente. Be sure to stir frequently. 8. Add your heavy cream, stir, and add back your chicken thighs on top. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes (to reheat the chicken). 9. Uncover the pan and drizzle the leftover honey butter on top. Enjoy! #orzo #cajunchicken #onepanmeal #EasyRecipe #dinnertime
