When I can’t decide where to go, I usually end up in the kitchen. I busy myself by experimenting with different ingredients and pray that something edible comes of it. The real dilemma arises when I can’t decide what to make! So many ingredients, only so much time, but so many new recipes I want to try! Oh, and I have to remember that even though I might want to make something with a twist, my husband’s craving Italian food…

Catherine’s Chicken with Sausage, Orzo, and Chickpeas will come to my rescue in that kind of situation. If I want chicken and my husband wants sausage, we can have our cake and eat it too! If he wants a taste of the Mediterranean and I’m craving ingredients used South of the border…we’re still safe with Catherine’s recipe!

In her blog Living the Gourmet, Catherine explains how her dish brings so many different flavors together. You have the cilantro and parsley…then jalapeno, honey and even ketchup are added to this flavorful dish which is sure to fill you up, even the orzo is hearty!
