Ingredients
These ingredients are all pantry and freezer staples in my house. Having a jar or can of artichokes on hands means any dinner can be just that little bit more special. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are always a winner because the meat stays super juicy while the crispy, golden skin makes a second helping all too desirable. If you can’t find orzo feel free to use rice or any short pasta shape instead.
Chicken. I use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Their flavor and texture are far superior other cuts of chicken. If preferred, you can substitute with chicken breasts or boneless thighs, the cooking time will just need to be adjusted as they will cook faster. Orzo. Orzo is a short, rice-shaped pasta. Artichokes. I use artichokes canned in oil but you can use any cooked artichokes. Onion. Shallot can be substituted. Fresh garlic cloves. Dried oregano. White wine. If you’d prefer to keep this recipe alcohol-free, substitute with chicken stock or water and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Chicken stock/Chicken broth. Cheese. The cheese is optional but adds so much flavor. I used cheddar and mozzarella. Cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream. Salt and pepper.
