Cilantro Lime Orzo

Ha I did it! I did it!  This is one of those things that I have been working on for a while, the concept got stuck in my head several weeks ago and I wanted to make it.  I had a few poorly executed attempts but I just knew that it would work... so here it is Cilantro Lime Orzo.  I made it with the same chicken that I made in my last archived attempt on a frozen grill again, maybe that is the secret.  Here is how it worked... Ingredients:

 

3/4 cup Orzo

1 TBS Olive Oil

1 Clove Garlic minced

2 Heavy TBS Finely Chopped Cilantro

1 1/4 cup Chicken Broth

Juice from one lime

Salt and pepper to taste

This one is best to start by chopping the Cilantro and Garlic... to get the 2 TBS of cilantro washed it well, picked the leaves off the stems then I chopped up most of a bunch of cilantro.  The garlic was a simple... peal, smash, mince, you know the drill. Set those aside.  Take your Orzo and start roasting it in a dry saucepan until it starts to toast a little then add the olive oil and minced garlic, I didn't time this part  but once you are sure this hot add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil then lower to medium heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes.  Let it stand for a few minutes and your side dish is ready to go.
