A deliciously creamy one-pan meal featuring tender chicken, flavorful orzo, and fresh spinach, packed with protein and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Add diced chicken and cook until browned.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the orzo pasta and chicken broth to the pan, stirring to combine.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the orzo is tender.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, spinach, and parmesan cheese. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is creamy.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

Stir occasionally while simmering to prevent sticking. Adjust garlic to taste. If sauce thickens during storage, add more cream or broth when reheating.
