Recipe adapted from For the Love of Cooking.net

Ingredients:

* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 1/2 cup yellow onions, chopped
* 2 cloves of garlic, minced
* 1/2 tsp dried thyme
* 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
* 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
* 1/4 lb of orzo, cooked per instructions
* 1 chicken bouillon cube
* 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
* 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Cook the orzo in water along with the chicken bouillon cube, per instructions.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chopped onion, mushrooms, and thyme; sauté for 5 minutes or until the onion is tender. Add the chicken, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste then sauté 7-8 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through; add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove skillet from the heat then add the cooked orzo, frozen peas, Parmesan and parsley to the chicken mixture and toss. Cover the pot for 1-2 minutes in order to let the peas cook through.
