- 1 c. orzo
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 14.5 oz chicken broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese freshly grated
In a small saucepan combine the orzo and butter. Melt butter over medium heat and stir regularly. Lightly toast the orzo. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the can of broth and the garlic in the orzo mixture. Heat over low heat, stirring regularly until all the broth is absorbed. Make sure not to turn it up to high or the broth will be absorbed before the orzo is done.
Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve immediately.
