Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite sized chunks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon Butter, divided
  • 8 ounces crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 white onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1/2 cup orzo pasta
  • 1/3 cup marsala wine, divided
  • 1 1/4 cups beef broth
  • parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Add olive oil to a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink at the center, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet to a plate; set aside.
  2. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat in the same skillet. Add mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic paste.
  3. Add orzo and cook, stirring frequently, until orzo is lightly toasted. Pour in half the Marsala; cook and stir, until wine is nearly absorbed.
  4. Add beef stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, then simmer until pasta is cooked and tender, about 10 minutes. Taste; season with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Add chicken, remaining Marsala, and remaining butter. Cook until chicken is heated through and liquid is mostly absorbed. Serve in wide bowls; garnish with parsley.
