Preparation​
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook the orzo for about 9 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a deep-sided saute pan or medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the pancetta and cook until crispy.
  • Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Add the Swiss chard, and season with salt and pepper. Cook the Swiss chard, stirring periodically until it begins to wilt.
  • Add the cooked orzo, cannellini beans, and 2 tablespoons chicken broth, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Add remaining chicken broth, as necessary, if the dish feels like it needs a little more moisture.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
Notes: Swiss Chard with Orzo, Cannellini Beans and Pancetta Tips
  • What if I don't have pancetta? Any bacon will do! Use whatever bacon you have -- I've also used turkey bacon in this recipe and it works perfectly.
