Instructions
Step 1
Sautée chicken and onions in oil until onions soften. Then add salt, pepper, Italian herbs, tomato paste and pesto and mix well.








Step 2
Add chicken stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, add in the pasta, peas, heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil and let it cook for 10 more minutes.
Step 4
As you allow it to sit in the sauce the orzo will continue to absorb the liquid and you'll have a nice thick delicious stew you won't be able to have enough of!
