Dice the chicken, and have the orzo and hot chicken stock ready.
Sear the chicken in butter for 6 minutes.
Add the onion and saute for 4 minutes, then turn the paprika for 30 seconds.
Add the orzo and toast for 3 minutes.
Add the hot chicken stock and salt, then cook over low heat for 13 minutes.
Rest the pilaf for 8 minutes so the orzo grains absorb the sauce.
💡 Tip: Blooming the paprika briefly in the pan keeps its color vivid.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with parsley on top and sour cream alongside.
