About One pan chicken meatballs and orzo

One Pan Chicken Meatballs and Orzo is a comforting, Mediterranean-inspired dish that combines tender chicken meatballs with flavorful orzo pasta, simmered together in a savory tomato-based sauce. The meatballs are made from lean ground chicken, offering a protein-rich option that's lower in fat compared to traditional beef or pork. Orzo, a rice-shaped pasta, adds a satisfying texture and blends beautifully with the vibrant flavors of garlic, onions, herbs, and a splash of olive oil. Rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, it balances out the dish alongside vitamins from fresh vegetables used in the sauce. While the recipe is relatively heart-healthy, its calorie content may vary depending on portion size and oil usage. This one-pan meal is a convenient, delicious choice for busy schedules, celebrating the wholesome ingredients and balanced flavors of Mediterranean cuisine.
