Ingredients
- 4 Chicken thighs boneless, skin removed
- 1 cup Orzo Pasta
- 200 g Cup Mushrooms thinly sliced
- 2 shallots small, finely diced
- 10 Black Garlic cloves, finely diced

- 1 tablespoon Butter
- ½ cup Parmesan
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- ½ cup Thickened Cream

Instructions
- Bring a large pan to medium/high heat with the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and grill in the pan on both sides until browned and cook. Leave the chicken aside to rest.
- Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and add the shallots. Sauté for 2 minutes then add the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and sauté for 5 minutes until cooked down.
- Add the white wine to the pan to deglaze. Scrape any brown bits off the bottom on the pan and mix them into the mushrooms. Once all the wine is absorbed/evaporated.
- Add the black garlic with the butter, sauté for 2 minutes then add the orzo, mix with the mushrooms then pour in the chicken stock. Bring this to a low simmer, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is 90% cooked.
- Stir through the cream and parmesan and stir over the heat for another 2 - 3 minutes then turn off the heat.
