One Pot Cajun Chicken and Orzo
Aug 11, 2024 03:13 AM
Cajun spiced chicken, creamy, silky buttery orzo swimming with andouille sausage and the holy trinity (sweet onion, bell pepper, and celery), all mixed in one pot. It never disappoints, no matter how many times you make this during the week.
Pretty sure we’ve made this three times already in the last 10 days because we are never lucky enough to be graced with leftovers.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 ¼ teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup diced andouille sausage
- 1 medium sweet onion
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 rib celery, diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups chicken stock
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
