Original Recipe Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup orzo pasta
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 pound boneless chicken thighs
1/2 onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup pimentos, drained
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup frozen petite peas
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place the orzo in a small bowl. Pour enough beer into the bowl to cover the orzo; set the remaining beer aside.
Heat the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Drain the fat from the skillet and lower heat to medium. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onions are translucent.
Pour in the orzo mixture, the rest of the beer, chicken broth, tomato sauce, pimentos, and turmeric; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the peas; simmer another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
