Prepare the drumsticks through step 3 up to 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate until ready to reheat and thicken the sauce.

## VARIATION
For a heartier version of this dish, use chicken thighs instead of drumsticks.
---
### 1
Sprinkle salt and nutmeg over chicken. Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat; add chicken. Cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
---
### 2
Add bell pepper, mushrooms and green onions to skillet; mix well. Stir in white wine. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low.
---
### 3
Simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes; remove to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
---
### 4
Mix cornstarch and broth in a bowl; stir into skillet. Cook, stirring continually, until thickened. Divide orzo among individual plates; arrange chicken over top. Drizzle with sauce.

## Make It Quicker
• Couscous, a very tiny pasta shape, cooks even quicker than orzo. Pour 1 cup of couscous into 1 cup of boiling water. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
