Instructions
Step 1
Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large high-rimmed sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Work in batches, cooking the chicken for 3 minutes a side until cooked through and golden. Remove the first batch of chicken and melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add the second batch of chicken and cook for 3 minutes a side. Remove to a plate or wire rack.
Step 3
In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add the shallot. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add the uncooked orzo and toast for another minute, stirring often.
Step 4
Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove the bits sticking to the bottom.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and add the juice of half a lemon. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the orzo is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed. Add more broth as needed to cook the orzo.
Step 6
Once the orzo is cooked, add the zest of 1 lemon and capers. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Evenly divide the orzo and chicken to serve. Top with the fresh parsley and additional capers, remaining lemon juice, and parmesan as desired.
