Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup orzo pasta, uncooked
2 lemons, divided
1 egg
1/2 cup Italian-seasoned panko bread crumbs
3 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup flour
4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb.), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
1 Tbsp. each butter and oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 can (14 oz.) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread

Steps:

  • Cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt. Meanwhile, cut 1 lemon into 4 wedges; squeeze juice from remaining lemon. Reserve lemon wedges and juice for later use.
  • Whisk egg in shallow dish until blended. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan in separate shallow dish. Add flour to third shallow dish. Dip chicken, 1 breast at a time, into flour, then egg, then panko mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each breast with each ingredient.
  • Melt butter with oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 2 to 3 min. or until bottoms of breasts are golden brown. Turn; cook on medium heat 2 to 3 min. or until chicken is done. Transfer chicken to plate, reserving drippings in skillet; cover chicken to keep warm.
  • Add onions to drippings in skillet; cook and stir 30 sec. Stir in chicken broth and reserved lemon juice; cook on medium-high heat 6 to 8 min. or until sauce is slightly reduced, stirring occasionally and scraping browned bits from bottom of skillet. Add cream cheese spread; cook 1 min. or until completely melted, stirring constantly with whisk.
  • Drain orzo; spoon onto platter. Top with chicken and cream cheese sauce. Serve with reserved lemon wedges.
