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.
