So Good! Big hit in my household & adding to favorites. I did add diced onion until tender before adding garlic & brussel sprouts. The orzo will stick if you don’t watch or add enough liquid but mine turned out great. Thanks for an awesome delicious meal!

In reply to Tatiana. I ran into the same issue! I agree, either turning the burner down or constantly stirring the orzo dish would have prevented this or even putting the lid on. Most of my orzo is burnt to the bottom of my dutch oven! My chicken also wasn't done, so had to throw it back in the oven. It tastes good still, thank goodness, so not completely wasted!

In reply to Brandi. Hi Brandi- that makes sense if your braiser was extra large the liquid would be more thinned out - feel free to add an extra splash of broth along the way next time, as needed, and try to give the orzo a stir once in a while around the chicken thighs!

In reply to Liz. Hi Liz! That makes sense if your chicken thighs were extra large! Glad you enjoyed it!

My chicken thighs were large and they didn’t get cooked through all the way. I would suggest cooking them in the oven for 25-30 min instead of 15. (If using bone in). The dish itself was flavorful though!

In reply to Wendy. This is good but as another person wrote I had a lot of orzo stick to the bottom of the pan. I cooked on low when I added the orzo too. I used a Le Creuset 3.5 qt braised so it’s pretty large.

Just want to add.. some may want to lower the temp when you add the orzo. Mine all stuck to the bottom of the pan. I think lowering the flame would’ve helped with that.
