Chicken Fricassee with Orzo
Cream is added to the vegetable mixture at the end to create a rich-tasting sauce that is soaked up by the orzo.

I thought this dish was awesome! I followed it exactly for the first time & the only thing I might change is the consistency of the sauce. I might simmer it a little longer to thicken it just a bit. I served it with the orzo & simple steamed green beans & my family called it a "keeper!"
Just ok. Not very flavorful. Maybe it would be better if more spices were added??
I have made this many times, sometimes with minor changes (adding celery, using skinless thighs, etc.) and have never been disappointed. It is also great for leftovers.
This recipe is outstanding. I'm not a big fan of orzo, I think it makes everything taste bland, IMO, so I used garlic couscous instead. My friend called and asked if I had a good recipe for chicken, I have a ton, and this is the one I recommended.
I love this dish and have served it to guests with rave reviews. I follow the recipe exactly. I like to serve it in a shallow bowl so the orzo can soak up the sauce. It is a little time consuming to make but worth the effort.
