Rotisserie Chicken Skillet

We get the rotisserie chicken at Costco on days we get pizza. Everyone eats pizza, and Astrid eats rotisserie chicken legs. Since a few months ago, she just decided she no longer likes pizza, so that is how it is. It actually works out quite well, as we use the rest of the chicken meat, mostly breast to make fun things like chicken bacon quesadillas or this!

Original recipe: https://www.afamilyfeast.com/rotisserie-chicken-skillet/

Ingredients:

3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken, breast, leg meat, whatever!

1 cup onion chopped
3 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup frozen peas
½ cup heavy cream - ish

2. Add carrots and onion and fry until softened and browned.
3. Add orzo to the carrots and onions.
4. Add in chicken stock, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Simmer about 12 minutes - covered.
