Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)

- 1 1/2 cups dried orzo
- 1 cup water

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, coat each chicken breast in flour, then in egg, then in breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then place in skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side.
