Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper, then sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another splash of olive oil if needed, then toss in the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in orzo pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 9-11 minutes until the orzo is al dente, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream, dried oregano, and spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts and sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
