Chicken Piccata Casserole

Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Toss chicken in a medium bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until coated. Add the chicken to the pan; cook until golden on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Add butter and lemon slices to the pan. Cook until lemon is golden on both sides, about 1 minute. Transfer the lemon to the plate with the chicken.

Add orzo and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant and the orzo is lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, until mostly absorbed, about 1 minute. Add broth, kale, capers and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; stir. Return the chicken, lemon slices and any accumulated juices to the pan.

Transfer to the oven and bake, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest piece of chicken registers 165°F and the orzo is tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
