Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or reserve oil from sun-dried tomatoes)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/3 cups orzo pasta
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups spinach, loosely chopped or torn
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  • Season diced chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a 3 quart sauce pan. Add chicken and sear on all sides (it's okay if the chicken isn't fully cooked in this step).
  • Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and sauté until fragrant, about two minutes. Add paprika and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. (These first two steps can be completed at home before your trip!)
  • Add chicken broth and orzo and stir to combine, making sure that the orzo is covered in the liquid.
  • Cover, bring to a boil, and cook for about 6 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and stir in heavy cream and fresh spinach. Continue boiling for about 3-4 more minutes until the pasta is tender. (Keep the lid off during this time to reduce the liquid.)
  • Remove from heat. Stir in parmesan cheese and serve.
