Ingredients

Directions

  • In a medium bowl, place the chicken, flour and Italian seasoning. Season with a pinch of salt and toss together with your fingers, or a spoon to coat.
  • Heat the oil in a wide skillet over medium high and add the chicken in a single layer. Sear the chicken for three minutes, then flip the pieces and sear another two minutes, until you get some nice char all over.
  • Add the olives to the pan and stir to combine. Add the red wine and let it bubble up and simmer for thirty seconds. Add the crushed tomatoes, plus a little water to rinse out the can. Stir to combine everything. Now add the orzo and stir it in. Pop the heat down to medium or medium/low and place the lid on top. Simmer for three minutes, then remove lid and stir to make sure nothing is sticking. Because the orzo will start to stick to the bottom. Put the lid back on and simmer another three minutes. Take it off, stir it again to avoid sticking. Keeping the lid off, simmer another three to five minutes, until the orzo is tender. Keep an eye on it and stir it continuously to avoid any more sticking. You can even add a splash to water to thin it if needed.
  • Off the heat, garnish with plenty of chopped parsley and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
