1 cup orzo pasta
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
05 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
06 -
1/2 cup heavy cream
07 -
2 cups chicken broth
08 -
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
09 -
1/2 teaspoon paprika
10 -
1/2 teaspoon salt, add more if you like

1 wheel (5.2 oz) Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
→ Optional Garnish
12 -
Fresh parsley, chopped
13 -
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over both sides of your chicken. Pour olive oil into your skillet and put it on medium. Drop in the chicken, let it sizzle 4–5 minutes, then flip and do the same. Chicken should look roasty and be cooked. Take it out and keep it nearby.
02 -
Toss that orzo into the same pan and stir it for a minute or two. Don’t stop mixing so it doesn’t burn.
03 -
Pour in chicken broth, crank the heat just until it starts bubbling, then put a lid on. Every few minutes, give it a stir. Let it go about 8–10 minutes, till orzo feels soft but not mushy.
04 -
Turn down the heat. Mix in the heavy cream and drop in the Boursin cheese. Stir around until you’ve got a smooth, cheesy sauce.
05 -
Now toss in your chopped spinach. Keep stirring for a bit, just until the leaves turn soft. Should just take a minute.
06 -
Slide the cooked chicken back in and let everything get nice and warm together.
07 -
Right before digging in, shake on some Parmesan and sprinkle the parsley if you want. Serve it up!
