Method
Preparation
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the orzo pasta and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the broth.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes, cooked chicken, and fresh spinach. Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For added texture, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or zest before serving. Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker alternative.
