Lemon Chicken Orzo
  1. Season the chicken with ½ tsp salt, paprika and pepper.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook until the chicken is mostly cooked 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  3. Melt the butter in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add orzo and toast for 2 minutes in the pan. Add the grated zucchini, garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the onions are tender.
