Creamy Orzo With Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 1 cup orzo pasta
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1 cup baby spinach
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions

Making Creamy Orzo With Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow the steps below for a seamless cooking experience:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken breasts and season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, roughly 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Broth and Orzo: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Stir in the orzo pasta and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the orzo is tender.
5. Stir in Cream: Once the orzo is cooked, slowly stir in the heavy cream while keeping the heat low.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas, and spinach into the mixture. Stir until the spinach wilts and the peas are heated through.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper based on your preference.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute or two. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
