- To a large skillet or pot over medium heat add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted add in the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is soft.
- Add in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning and orzo stir well and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream and lemon juice stir well. Let simmer uncovered for 10 minutes stirring frequently so the orzo doesn’t stick.
