Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on all sides on medium-high heat.

Step 3

Continue to cook about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook and drain the orzo.

Add saffron strands to chicken mixture and stir. Cook about 5 more minutes, then serve over orzo and enjoy! (You may want to top it off with some shredded mozzarella or Italian-style cheese.)
