Boursin Chicken Orzo: The Creamiest 30-Minute Meal

• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tsp Salt or to taste
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper or to taste
• 1 small Yellow Onion finely diced
• 4 cloves Garlic minced
• 1.5 cups Orzo Pasta uncooked
• 4 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
• 5.2 oz Boursin Cheese Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor, softened
• 3 cups Fresh Spinach packed
• 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and uncooked orzo. Stir constantly for 1 minute until the orzo is lightly toasted and the garlic is fragrant.

3. 3

   Pour in the chicken broth, making sure to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is al dente and has absorbed most of the liquid.

4. 4

   Turn off the heat. Add the entire wheel of softened Boursin cheese to the skillet. Stir gently until the cheese melts completely and forms a creamy sauce that coats the orzo.

5. 5

   Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the fresh spinach and stir until it has just wilted. Serve the Boursin chicken orzo immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
