How To Make chicken breasts stuffed with orzo
-
1Combine pasta and broth in a small pot, cover, place over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, or until barely soft.
-
2Remove from heat and transfer contents of the pot to a work bowl.
-
3Add salt and pepper.
-
4Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet on the stove, add the onions, garlic and anchovies and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
-
5Scrape the mixture into a food processor, add basil and puree until coarsely ground.
-
6Add onion mixture to the pasta in the mixing bowl and add egg white and bread crumbs.
-
7Mix well.
-
8Chill in the refrigerator.
-
9Pull the tenderloins off the meat side of each breast and set aside.
-
10Remove the skin in 1 piece and set aside.
-
11Place breasts between layers of plastic wrap or wax paper and flatten to a 3/8-inch thickness.
-
12Gently flatten the tenderloins.
-
13Lay the breasts down on what was their skin side and place about 1/3 cup stuffing on each breast, leaving a 1-inch border.
-
14Gather up the edges around the stuffing as best you can.
-
15Lay a tenderloin on the opening and wrap each bundle with the skin.
-
16Preheat oven to 350.
-
17Place the bundles in a baking dish just large enough to hold them comfortably.

-
19Arrange the chicken on a platter and pour the cooking juices into a saucepan.
-
20Place saucepan over high heat and boil until reduced by half.
