I don’t know about you but when I tend to get the rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, there’s only so much chicken soup a gal can take. I’m always on the lookout for great ideas for what to do with the leftover chicken and, I recently saw a great recipe for Roast Chicken Pancetta and Mushroom Orzo that gave me some inspiration on how to add a little za za zu factor to the leftover rotisserie chicken that was taking up valuable real estate in my fridge.
This dish was so simple, packed with flavor and will be on the menu again. I originally planned on starting off with shallots the recipe called for but, when cooking the bacon, I knew that the shallots might be overwhelmed by all of the flavors that would be taking up residence in the braiser and quickly swapped in the onion. With a few changes, this Roasted Chicken Orzo is an easy weeknight meal that will fast become a family favorite.
