Frequently asked
Can I make this creamy lemon chicken orzo without cream?
Yes. You can leave out the cream and finish with an extra tablespoon of butter and a little more Parmesan. The skillet will still be creamy from the starch released by the orzo, though it will taste less rich.
Why is my orzo sticking to the pan?
Orzo is small and starchy, so it needs regular stirring while it simmers. If your skillet runs hot or the broth reduces quickly, lower the heat and add a few tablespoons of extra liquid.
