Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
• 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
• 3 tablespoons butter, divided
• 2 cups chicken broth, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with seasoning salt and add to skillet; saute until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.

Step 2

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms and saute until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove mushrooms to a plate.

Step 3

Place onion in the skillet and saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add uncooked orzo; cook and stir until toasted and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add 2 cups chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Mix well, reduce heat to medium-low, and bring to a simmer. Cook until orzo is tender, 8 to 10 minutes, adding more chicken broth if needed.

Step 4

Reduce heat to low and stir in garlic and herb cheese spread until completely melted. Add chicken and mushrooms and mix until well combined. Garnish with parsley.
