My boyfriend requests this creamy Tuscan orzo with grilled chicken on repeat 🤤✨ It’s creamy, cozy, packed with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, and the perfect easy dinner! What you’ll need: [CHICKEN] 2 large chicken breasts or chicken tenders Olive oil Salt + pepper Garlic powder Onion powder [TUSCAN ORZO] 2 tbsp unsalted butter 1 large shallot, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes 1½ cups orzo ½ cup white cooking wine 2 tsp Dijon mustard 2 tsp fresh thyme 3 cups chicken stock 1 cup heavy cream 3 cups fresh spinach ½ cup Parmesan cheese 2 tsp lemon juice 1. Season your chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Grill or cook in a skillet until fully cooked, then slice and set aside. 2. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant. 3. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and dry orzo, toasting for 1–2 minutes. 4. Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. 5. Stir in the Dijon, thyme, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. 6. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, spinach, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 7. Top with the grilled chicken and enjoy! 🤍 #DinnerIdeas #EasyRecipe #creamypasta #orzo #cooking
