Ingredients

* 1 cup uncooked orzo
* 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
* 4 (4-ounce) chicken cutlets
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/4 cup white wine
* 1/2 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
* 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon chilled butter, cut into small pieces
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* 1 tablespoon capers

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook orzo according to package directions. Drain. Stir in rind.

2. While orzo cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan; keep warm. Add wine; cook 1 minute or until liquid almost evaporates, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat; add butter, stirring until butter melts. Stir in parsley and capers. Serve over orzo.
