Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 lbs
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 8 oz Boursin cheese garlic & herb
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by chopping the fresh spinach and mincing the garlic cloves. Having everything prepped ahead of time ensures a smooth cooking process.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 6–7 minutes per side.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked through and removed from the skillet, add minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until fragrant—about one minute.
  4. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Stir in the orzo pasta and cook until al dente, which should take around 8–10 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat once the orzo is cooked through and mix in the Boursin cheese until it melts smoothly into the mixture. Fold in fresh spinach until wilted.
  6. Slice the cooked chicken breasts and gently fold them into the creamy orzo mixture before serving.
