Ingredients
Scale
2 cups orzo pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
8 ounces Boursin cheese (any flavor)
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large, oven-safe skillet or baking dish, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, and spinach to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Stir in the orzo pasta and then dollop in the Boursin cheese. Using a spoon or spatula, gently stir everything to combine until the cheese is mostly melted and evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
