Preparation
Roast the Brussels sprouts
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Remove the root ends of the Brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise (quarter if large).
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 12 to 14 min., until golden brown and tender.
Boil the orzo
- Meanwhile, add the orzo to the pot of boiling water and boil, 9 to 10 min., until just tender.
- Drain and return to the pot.
- Add the pesto and S&P; stir well.
Prepare the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry; season with the spices and S&P.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk 1 egg (double for 4 portions) until smooth.
- Place the panko in a second shallow bowl.
- Working one at a time, coat the chicken in the egg (letting any excess drip off), then in the panko (pressing to adhere).
Cook the chicken
- In a medium, oven-safe pan, heat a thin layer of oil on medium.
- Add the chicken* and cook, 3 to 4 min. per side, until golden and partially cooked.
- Top with the tomato sauce and cheese.
- Transfer to the oven and bake, 8 to 12 min., until browned and cooked through.
- Switch the oven to broil, 2 to 3 min., if extra colour is desired.
Plate your dish
- Divide the orzo, Brussels sprouts and chicken (slice beforehand if desired) between your plates. Bon appétit!
