<li>8 ounces Orzo pasta</li>
<li>2 celery stalks, finely diced</li>
<li>2 carrots, finely diced</li>
<li>1/2 yellow onion, finely diced</li>
<li>5 tablespoons butter</li>
<li>2 tablespoons olive oil</li>

Instructions
</h2>
<ol>
<li>Cook the Orzo per the package instructions.</li>
<li>
While that cooks, make a mirepoix:
<ol>
<li>
In a large skillet over medium high heat add the butter and olive
oil.
</li>
<li>
Once the butter is melted add in the diced onion, carrots and
celery.
</li>
<li>
Allow the veggies to sauté for 4-5 minutes until they start to
soften up.
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the
veggies and whisk together until it forms a paste/roux. While stirring
constantly, allow the roux to cook for 2-3 minutes.
</li>
<li>
Pour into the roux the chicken broth, chicken boullion powder, and
heavy whipping cream. Whisk together until no clumps are present and
the mixture starts to thicken.
</li>
<li>
Add in the diced chicken and allow the mixture to simmer until it
reaches desired thickness. Pour in drained orzo and stir to combine.
Serve &amp; enjoy!
</li>
</ol>

</h2>
<p>
You can use rotisserie chicken or cook your own chicken for this recipe.
If you use a rotisserie chicken then no additional seasonings are
needed, but if you are planning to cook your own chicken then you will
need to season it to your liking. I typically use a blend of onion
powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper.
