Creamy Chicken & Mushrooms

2 Tbls Olive oil
1/2 med Onion
1 tsp Garlic paste
4 oz Button mushrooms or small can
1 can Chicken broth
2 cups Heavy cream
¾ Tbls Corn starch
2 Thin sliced chicken breasts. We normally cut
breasts in half lengthwise.
1 cup Orzo
1/4 cup Grated parmesan cheese

Procedure
1. Sauté onion and garlic paste in 1 Tbls olive oil.
2. Add mushrooms and ½ cup chicken broth. Bring to simmer and
cook about 5 minutes. Turn up heat and cook until most of the
liquid has evaporated.
3. Mix ¾ Tbls corn starch in 1 cup heavy cream. Add cream to
mushroom mixture. Bring to boil then immediately reduce heat
to low and simmer while you cook other stuff.
4. In a separate pan add 1 Tbls oil and cook chicken until done.
Don’t overcook as it will be cooked a little in the mushroom
gravy.
5. When chicken done add mushroom gravy to chicken and
simmer on low while orzo is being cooked.
6. In a sauce pot add remaining chicken broth and 2 cans of
water and bring to rapid boil. Carefully add orzo to boiling
water and cook to desired doneness. Orzo tends to boil over
so add slowly to water and watch it. Drain when cooked.
7. Put orzo back in pan and add parmesan cheese, 1 oz butter
and ¼ cup heavy cream.
8. Serve orzo with chicken and gravy.
