My second part of my dorm cooking recipe series is Creamy Pesto Orzo with Chicken. I found this recipe on Pintrest (albeit without the chicken), and since pasta recipes are particularly one-pot friendly, I played around and came up with this! It's super comfort food, in my opinion.
Creamy Pesto Orzo with Chicken
Ingredients:
1 cup orzo
3 tbsp pesto (I use jarred pesto), or more, to taste
Grated parmesan cheese, to taste
1 chicken breast (optional)
Use your pot to "saute" the chicken.
Cook the orzo as directed. While it is cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Drain, and return pasta to the pot. Stir in parmesan cheese and pesto, to taste. Let sit, and you have what I like to think of as mac and cheese, only better.
