One Pan French Onion Chicken with Orzo
If you love easy one pan meals that still feel comforting and elevated, this One Pan French Onion Chicken with Orzo is going to be a new favorite. Inspired by classic French onion soup flavors, this dish combines caramelized onions, seasoned chicken, tender orzo, and plenty of melty cheese...all cooked mostly in one pan. It’s the kind of dinner that feels special but is still totally doable on a busy weeknight.
This recipe is especially great for busy families because everything comes together efficiently without sacrificing flavor. The onions cook down slowly to create that rich, savory base, while the chicken cooks quickly and stays tender. Toasting the orzo directly in the pan adds extra depth, and letting it simmer in broth means fewer dishes and more flavor in every bite.
Finished with creamy parmesan, melted mozzarella, and crispy French fried onions, this meal is comforting, filling, and perfect for nights when you want something homemade without spending hours in the kitchen. If you’re searching for simple one pan dinners, easy chicken recipes, or quick meals for busy people, this French onion chicken with orzo checks all the boxes....and cleanup is a breeze.
