Gather Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients on the countertop, ensuring everything is within reach for a smooth and enjoyable cooking experience.

Sear the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and sear each side for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 1 minute until fragrant. This step is crucial for infusing flavor into your creamy sauce.

Make the Sauce: Whisk in the Dijon mustard, soy sauce, heavy cream, and chicken broth into the skillet until combined and bubbly. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens beautifully.

Cook Orzo: While your sauce simmers, cook the orzo in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain it well and set it aside.

Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet along with the cooked orzo. Toss everything together gently until well-coated in the rich, creamy sauce.

Serve & Garnish: Plate your Creamy Dijon Chicken and Orzo, drizzling with extra sauce if desired, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
