  • Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add red onion, garlic, coriander, and salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add 2 cups water and chicken breasts, reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer, turning chicken once, until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Remove chicken to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
  • Meanwhile, add orzo to poaching liquid and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and all the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove orzo to a large nonreactive bowl and stir in maple syrup, vinegar, cilantro, pomegranate seeds, and the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
