The Rest In a large saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil and saute?the onion and garlic over high heat for 3 minutes. Stir in the celery, half the herbs, the orzo and the chicken stock and cook over medium for 25 minutes, stirring from time to time. While the orzo is cooking, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet and saute?the chicken pieces, red pepper and remaining herbs for 3 minutes. Stir into the cooked orzo. .

Says it likes to stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
