Ingredients
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, then sear in the skillet for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and Italian herbs, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then add gluten free orzo and stir to coat.
6. Pour in heavy cream, stir, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender and sauce is creamy, about 10-12 minutes.
7. Stir in spinach and parmesan until spinach wilts and cheese melts.
8. Return chicken to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reheat and meld flavors.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
