getting creative

I made this really good dish for dinner tonight, just throwing ingredients together in the hopes that it would turn out well.

Orzo & Chicken

1/4 cup frozen chopped onions
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 - 1/2 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
salt, pepper, dash of fresh cilantro
1 cup of orzo
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

I sauteed the onions, tomatoes, and garlic in olive oil, then added the lemon juice, butter, salt, pepper, and cilantro.  Then I added the orzo and let it simmer uncooked for a minute or so, and then added the chicken broth.  Then I added enough water to continue cooking the pasta, and let it simmer until it was done.  The chicken was pan seared with just salt, olive oil, and a bit of lemon juice until it was done.  Then I poured the cooked orzo into the pan with the chicken to let it cook down. 

It was amazing.

I'm exhuasted tonight; it was too hot to even take a nap during siesta this afternoon, so I'm fading quickly.  I'm supposed to go see a movie at the rooftop theatre tonight, but I don't know if I can last that long.
