Equipment
- large skillet
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup spinach fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the orzo. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the orzo is tender.
- Once the orzo is cooked, reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well until combined.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the creamy orzo. Add fresh spinach and let it wilt in the sauce for a couple of minutes.
- Once everything is heated through, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
