A comforting dish that combines tender chicken, creamy Boursin cheese, and colorful vegetables baked with orzo for a delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo
  • 2 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin garlic & herb cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced chicken, seasoning it generously with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and toast for about 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in the uncooked orzo for an additional minute until slightly toasted.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add in the diced zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes.
  7. Nestle the Boursin cheese in the center of the orzo mixture.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the dish and mix slightly. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  9. After 20 minutes, uncover the dish and stir in the baby spinach and Parmesan cheese (if using). Bake uncovered for another 5 to 10 minutes until the orzo is tender and creamy.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving hot.

Notes

Use quality chicken and fresh vegetables for best flavor. Adjust cheese quantities to your preference.
