Ingredients

2 chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)

1 cup orzo pasta

1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 garlic cloves (minced)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper (to taste)

 

Directions

Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook the chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Prepare Orzo: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring to a simmer. Stir in orzo and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.

Add Veggies: Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the spinach and cherry tomatoes. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.

Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stir in Parmesan cheese, and cook for another 2 minutes to heat everything through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve hot!
