Ingredients

– 2 cups orzo pasta
– 1 pound chicken breast, diced
– 8 oz Boursin cheese
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium onion, chopped

– 4 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped (optional)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own incredible Boursin Orzo with Chicken:

1. Cook the Orzo: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, then add the orzo. Cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Aromatics: Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

4. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cooked orzo and let it cook for an additional 3 minutes.

5. Incorporate the Boursin: Reduce heat to low and add the Boursin cheese, stirring until it melts and creates a creamy sauce that coats the pasta and chicken.

6. Add Spinach: If using, fold in the chopped spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.

By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that bursts with rich flavors and creamy textures, ensuring a delightful dining experience.
