Creamy Cauliflower & Chicken Orzo

Makes 4 https://www.sobeys.com/en/recipes/creamy-cauliflower-chicken-orzo/

Ingredients:

In a large deep skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 sec. Add cauliflower and cook until tender and golden, about 5 min. Add orzo and bay leaf and stir until just coated with oil and butter. Add broth and cook, stirring often, until orzo is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 12 min. Stir in peas, Parmesan and chicken and cook 1 min. Season with salt and pepper. Tip Our whole roasted chickens give you about 4 cups (1 L) of meat – use leftovers for easy lunches and dinners later in the week.
