LEMON CHICKEN WITH ORZO
Here's a dish that's light and summery but still filling. My kids love all the veggies...for real! If you like a lot of lemon, stir in an extra splash of lemon juice just before serving. -Shannon Humphrey, Hampton, Virginia

- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken tenderloins to the pan and season with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Some smaller tenderloins will cook quicker than others- cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Once cooked, set aside.
- Cook the orzo on the stove to package instructions. Boil the water first. Once boiling, add the orzo. Orzo has a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pan when boiling, so lightly spray the bottom of the pan with non-stick cooking spray or stir occasionally. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Now, let's make the sauce. In a skillet, heat ghee (or butter), and add the diced onion. Soften the onion, and once softened, add the minced garlic and sautee with onion until fragrant. Next, add the broth, coconut milk, white wine vinegar, and lemon juice.
- Add chopped basil, and seasonings. Let simmer for a few minutes until the sauce simmers and thickens, then add orzo. Mix until all orzo is coated in the sauce. Lastly, add cooked chicken to the top of the orzo and garnish with fresh basil leaves, lemon slices, and parsley. Enjoy!
