Test Kitchen Tip
Before starting this recipe, be sure you choose a pan with a tight-fitting lid. You’ll need one to make sure the orzo gets cooked.
Instructions
Combine salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder; coat chicken with seasonings.
Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium-high; add chicken and sauté until browned, about 3 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
Add orzo to same pan and stir until lightly toasted, 1 minute. Increase heat to high and stir in broth, zest, and lemon juice, scraping up any brown bits. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer orzo, covered, 8 minutes.
Arrange chicken, broccoli, and lemon slices on top of orzo; cover pan and simmer until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is fork-tender, about 12 minutes more. Sprinkle tomatoes on top before serving.
