Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Orzo

Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Orzo

1 C cooked orzo pasta
1 Cooked and shredded chicken breast*
2 C Steamed broccoli
1 C Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 tbsp. Butter
1/4 C Milk
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp olive oil

*When we grocery shop I buy bone in chicken breasts and then boil them and shred the meat off.  I can usually get 4-5 meals plus a couple of small snack size bags full for lunches out of 2 full breasts.

In a large pot bring water to a boil and cook orzo until done.  (I don't know how else to word this lol)! 

Steam broccoli while the noodles are cooking.  You could probably use 1 bag of the steamers or I steamed ours in the rice steamer from pampered chef.

If you have not cooked your chicken, place it in a skillet with 2 tsp of olive oil. Cook until browned and cooked through.

When noodles are done, drain and add butter, milk, and cheese.  Stir until cheese is melted.  Pour noodles into skillet with chicken.  Add broccoli and heat through.  Add garlic and onion powder and continue mixing until all is heated through.
