8 boneless chicken thighs
1/2 cup flour
3 T. olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
30 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1/2 t. crushed red pepper
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
4 T. fresh parsley, chopped
1 pound orzo, cooked
2 T. butter
Salt and pepper

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Wash chicken in cold water, pat dry, and then season with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow pan and dredge the chicken lightly.
3
Heat oil in a large oven-proof saute pan or skillet. Add chicken and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside on paper towels.
4
Add the onions to the oil in the pan and saute about 3 minutes, scraping up any chicken bits from the bottom of the pan. Add garlic, crushed pepper, salt, and the bay leaf and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn up the heat and de-glaze the pan with wine.
5
When wine has reduced by half, add lemon juice, chicken broth, and chicken thighs to the pan. Bring to simmer. Cover tightly and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
6
Remove pan from oven, stir in 2 T. of the parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Place back in the oven uncovered for 15 additional minutes.
7
In a large bowl, add cooked orzo and stir in remaining parsley and the butter. Serve chicken over the orzo and drizzle with a good portion of the lemon garlic cooking liquid.
