    Ingredients

    • 1 piece 10.5 ounces of Cream of Chicken Soup
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 0.25 cup lemon juice
    • 0.25 cup capers
    • 8 oz orzo
    • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into cutlets
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 0.50 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
    • 0.75 cup panko bread crumbs
    • 3 tbsp butter, cubed
    • 1 to taste lemon
    • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

    Instructions

    1. 1

      Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

    2. 2

      Combine cream of chicken soup, broth, lemon juice, and capers in a bowl. 

    3. 3

      Add uncooked orzo to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour chicken soup mixture over orzo and stir carefully to combine. 

    4. 4

      Set chicken cutlets evenly on top of the orzo. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Top with Parmesan cheese, panko, butter, and lemon slices. Cover with foil.

    5. 5

      Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake until the chicken is no longer pink at the center, juices run clear, and panko is golden brown, about 15 minutes more. An instant read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

    6. 6

      Garnish with fresh parsley and sliced lemons.
