Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup uncooked orzo
2 tsp grated lemon rind
4 (4-oz) chicken cutlets
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup fat-free , lower-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp chilled butter, cut into small pieces
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp capers

Directions:

Cook orzo according to package directions. Drain. Stir in rind.
While orzo cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan; keep warm. Add wine; cook 1 minute or until liquid almost evaporates, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat; add butter, stirring until butter melts. Stir in parsley and capers. Serve over orzo.
