Chicken Artichoke & Broccoli Orzo Skillet

I never get tired of recipes like this Chicken Artichoke & Broccoli Skillet.

Fast to throw together with easy clean up.


It is delicious!

I was going to call it Cheesy Chicken Artichoke & Broccoli, but 
I didn't want to give the wrong impression.

It has just enough cheese to pull it all together and add another level of flavor, 
but not enough to add a lot of extra fat and calories.

It was pretty perfect.

  1. Andrea,
    I've stocked up on plain and fancy artichoke hearts from Costco (the closest Costco is an hour away from me, but a mere 7 minutes from where my son has sled hockey practice from October through March. This recipe looks terrific. Thanks!
