Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
Stir 4 cups of the chicken broth with pumpkin puree in a measuring cup until smooth. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium high. Add chicken and cook until golden, about 7-8 minutes. Season with salt and herbes de province.
Stir in orzo. Toast for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium.
Add one cup of the broth mixture to orzo and stir until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding a half cup of the mixture at a time, stirring often between additions, until liquid is absorbed. Cook until orzo is tender and mixture is creamy. If orzotto is too thick, stir in the additional ½ cup broth left over until loosened but not soupy.
Sprinkle with cheese and herbes de province if using and serve.
