Instructions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add orzo and cook 1 minute, stirring often. Stir in chicken broth and water; bring to boil on high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 15 minutes or until pasta is al dente and liquid has been absorbed and thickened slightly. Reduce heat to low and stir in cream, 1 teaspoon of the Seasoning, parsley and Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat. Let stand until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, mix flour, salt and remaining 3 teaspoons Seasoning in shallow dish. Moisten chicken lightly with water. Coat evenly on both sides with seasoned flour.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Cook half of the chicken cutlets 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding additional butter if necessary. Serve chicken with orzo.
