1. Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Stir in the orzo, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and creamy.

5. Add heavy cream and chopped spinach, then stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

6. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the creamy orzo.

7. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and serve warm.

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative.

You can add sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and a classic “Marry Me Chicken” twist.

Let the orzo sit for a few minutes before serving to thicken further.
