Instructions

Cook Chicken
1

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp Herbes de Provence (2 tsp for 4 servings). Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Wipe out pan.

Prep
2

Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Halve tomatoes. Mince or grate garlic. Pick parsley leaves from stems; discard stems. Finely chop leaves.

Cook Orzo
3

Once water boils, add half the orzo to pot (use all the orzo for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain thoroughly and return to pot.

Make Pan Sauce
4

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan used to cook chicken over medium heat. Add shallot; cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add tomatoes, garlic, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), ½ tsp remaining Herbes de Provence (1 tsp for 4), and half the vinegar (all for 4). Cook until thickened and saucy, 2 minutes. Stir in demi-glace and 2 TBSP water. Bring to a simmer, then turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Season with salt and pepper.

Finish Orzo
5

Stir pesto, 1 TBSP butter, and half the Parmesan into pot with drained orzo. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

Divide chicken and orzo between plates. Top chicken with pan sauce, making sure to include tomatoes. (TIP: Serve the sauce on the side for picky eaters.) Garnish with parsley and remaining Parmesan.
