Instructions

In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Sauté finely chopped onion with a pinch of salt until softened (about 4–5 minutes).
Add minced garlic, carrots, celery, frozen peas, thyme, and another pinch of salt; cook until fragrant.
Stir in uncooked orzo and broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for approximately 6 minutes.
Incorporate shredded chicken and milk into the mixture. Stir thoroughly; cover again and cook for an additional 4 minutes until pasta is al dente.
Adjust consistency by leaving the lid off if too watery. Fold in remaining butter and grated cheese; season with salt and pepper to taste.
