Chic Pea Orzo

Ingredients:

• 16 oz Orzo 
• 2 cans chic peas, drained and rinsed
• 4 cups unsalted chicken broth
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 5 garlic cloves, diced
• 1 shallot, diced
• 1/4 cup cilantro
• 1 Tbsp Italian Dressing
• 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes, do not drain
• 2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp sea salt

Directions:

1. Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil.
2. Saute garlic and shallots until soft (don’t overcook).
3. Add orzo, chic peas, chicken broth and spices except cilantro and bring to a boil.
4. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until orzo is al dente, stirring frequently to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom.
5. When ready to serve, stir in fresh cilantro.
