Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups uncooked orzo pasta
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped into ½-inch pieces (about 2 small chicken breasts)
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 round (150 g) Boursin cheese (Garlic and Fine Herbs or Basil and Chive)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Add the orzo, chicken, chicken broth, cherry tomatoes, spinach, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to the dish. Stir to combine.
  3. Place the Boursin cheese in the center of the mixture, pressing it down slightly.
  4. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  5. Remove the foil, stir the orzo to mix the melted cheese evenly, and check the texture. If needed, return to the oven uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  6. For a creamier consistency, stir in a splash of hot broth or a bit of heavy cream before serving.

Notes

  • Use leftover or rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
  • For added creaminess, stir in a splash of cream or broth before serving.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Customize with your favorite vegetables or proteins.
