One Pot Chicken Taco Skillet with Orzo and Black Beans
We are making a few more foodie fun shows for Fox’s Jason Show TV. For one episode, I went into a family’s home, opened their pantry blind to what was inside, and cooked a meal for them and their two kids. It was terrifying but a total blast, and I can’t wait to see the footage. I cooked a one-pot meal with Orzo. Here is the recipe – I’ll add the video footage when we have an episode release date.
