One-Dish Chicken & Orzo Pasta Bake: Quick, Easy, and Delicious

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Cook the Orzo: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.

Combine: Add the orzo pasta and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir in the spinach and heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until the orzo is slightly tender.

Assemble the Bake: Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and add them on top of the orzo mixture. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
