Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound)

  • 1 cup water

  • 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
Make With
Progresso Broth

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil about 10 minutes or until brown on both sides. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.
  • 2
    Add broth and water to skillet; heat to boiling. Stir in pasta; heat to boiling. Cook uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in frozen vegetables and dressing (cut any large broccoli pieces in half).

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Coarsely ground pepper has more punch than regular ground pepper. If you want to use ground pepper instead, start with 1/8 teaspoon and add more pepper to taste after the chicken is fully cooked.
  • tip 2
    Orzo is a tiny, rice-shaped pasta. Look for it near the other pastas in your grocery store.
