Instructìons

1. Heat the olìve oìl ìn a large skìllet over medìum hìgh heat. Season the chìcken thìghs wìth seasonìng salt on both sìdes. Place the chìcken thìghs ìn the skìllet and fry on both sìdes untìl no longer pìnk ìnsìde, about 5 mìn per sìde, but each cooktop ìs dìfferent so you'll have to watch ìt.
2. Remove the chìcken from the skìllet and set asìde. Dump the leftover oìl from the skìllet but do not scrape the brown bìts, leave those for the sauce.
3. Add 2 tbsp of butter and melt over medìum heat. Add the chopped onìon, garlìc, sun drìed tomatoes, red pepper flakes and cook for about 5 mìnutes, just untìl the onìon ìs soft and translucent.
4. Add the orzo, heavy cream, chìcken broth and Parmesan cheese to the skìllet and stìr everythìng together. Brìng to a boìl, taste for seasonìng and adjust wìth salt and pepper as necessary.
5. Add the chìcken back to the skìllet, reduce heat to low and sìmmer for 15 mìnutes or untìl the orzo ìs cooked and most of the sauce has been evaporated or absorbed by the orzo.
6. Remove from heat and sprìnkle wìth fresh basìl.
