One Skillet Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken and Orzo

Creamy Chicken and Orzo with Sun-Dried Tomatoes in One Skillet

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Stir in the orzo and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing it to toast slightly.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the mixture is creamy. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Allow everything to heat through for a couple of minutes.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
