For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider searing the chicken to a golden-brown hue before adding the broccoli. To elevate the richness of the Alfredo sauce, stir in a knob of butter and a generous grating of Parmesan cheese during the final moments of cooking. Freshly grated nutmeg adds a whisper of warmth and complexity to the overall dish. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can brighten the dish, balancing the creaminess with a touch of acidity. Garnish with fresh parsley, basil, or chives to add visual appeal and a burst of fresh flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
02
StepAdd the bite-size chicken pieces to the skillet and sauté until the exterior turns opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Incorporate the broccoli florets and stir to coat them evenly with the buttery garlic essence.
03
StepIntroduce the orzo pasta to the skillet, followed by the chicken stock and Classic Alfredo Sauce. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients, ensuring the orzo is submerged in the liquid.
04
StepCover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, approximately 12-15 minutes.
05
StepRemove the skillet from the heat and uncover. Stir gently, allowing the dish to rest for 1-2 minutes, so the sauce can thicken slightly before serving.
