Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 yellow onion, diced fine
1 garlic clove, grated
2 cups uncooked orzo
6 cups vegetable or chicken broth, warmed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 pounds broccoli florets, cut into small pieces (can use frozen)
One 4-ounce jar pimientos
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar
1 cup processed cheese
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the orzo and stir until thoroughly mixed with the onion and garlic and coated in the butter, a minute or so. Add a third of the broth and stir gently, then bring to the boil. Add the dry mustard, cayenne, salt and pepper and cook until the liquid has been absorbed by the orzo, 3 to 4 minutes, then add another third of the broth. Cook, stirring, until this, too, has been absorbed, another 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the broccoli followed by the remaining broth and the pimientos, then bring to the boil. Cook until the broccoli and orzo are almost cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cheeses, stirring, and cook until completely melted and smooth and the broccoli and orzo are cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with the fresh parsley.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 chicken drumsticks
2 1/4 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed
2 cups small broccoli florets, stems finely chopped
3/4 cup orzo
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the oil, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add the drumsticks and toss to coat in the spice mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crisp and golden and the drumsticks register 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 30 to 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the broccoli, orzo, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the orzo is al dente and the broccoli begins to get very soft, about 15 minutes. If the pan starts to look too dry, add another splash of chicken broth. Stir in the Parmesan, then use the back of a wooden spoon to slightly mash the broccoli, breaking it up into very small pieces.
Serve the drumsticks over the broccoli orzo and garnish with more Parmesan.
