LEMON CHICKEN WITH LEMON GARLIC ORZO SOUP

Category: Soups

1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons butter
2 (14.5 oz) cans of chicken broth
1/3 cup lemon juice
zest from one lemon
1/2 cup lemon garlic orzo pasta
1/4 tsp garlic powder and onion powder
Salt and pepper

In a large pan, fry the chicken in olive oil until the chicken is fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a large bowl, stir the chicken broth, lemon juice and lemon zest together. In a large saucepan, make a roux by melting the three tablespoons butter, on medium heat, and then stirring 1/4 cup flour into the butter until combined. Slowly add the chicken broth mixture to the roux.

Once all of the broth mixture is added to the roux, turn up the heat to medium high to boil the soup mixture. Once the soup has boiled, add the 1/2 cup lemon garlic orzo pasta and turn the heat to medium low and cook for fifteen minutes, or until the pasta is tender.

Add garlic and onion powders. Salt and pepper to taste if needed. Garnish with curly leaf parsley and serve warm.
