This creamy chicken orzo is a cheesy, velvety one-pot dish that\u2019s comfort food at its best. It has tender chicken and orzo smothered in a creamy Parmesan sauce and you can have it on the table in 30 minutes!<\/p>\n

Creamy chicken orzo is a homey and comforting one-pot recipe that\u2019s super easy to make and tastes like a real treat.
\nIt\u2019s the perfect dish to make on those days when you don\u2019t feel like cooking something complicated but still want to tuck into a bowl of deliciousness.
\nOrzo (or risoni as it\u2019s also called) may look like rice but it\u2019s actually pasta. This means that even though this chicken and orzo dish looks a bit like risotto, it\u2019s much quicker to make.<\/p>\n

I personally love it with just a bit of half-and-half (single cream) and lots of freshly grated Parmesan.<\/p>\n

For a thicker sauce, you can use heavy cream (double cream). Keep in mind, however, that the chicken orzo thickens naturally as it cools down.<\/p>\n

Instrucciones<\/h4>\n

\"\"
\nHeat the olive oil in a large, deep pan and melt the butter in it.
\nAdd the chicken breast and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat until slightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
\nTo the same pan, add the shallot and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme and oregano and continue to cook for another minute.
\nAdd the orzo, toast it for a minute, and then pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the orzo is al dente.
\nStir in the baby spinach and lemon juice and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
\nAdd the half and half and stir to combine. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens, then add the cooked chicken and grated Parmesan.
\nSeason to taste and serve immediately, with some extra grated Parmesan on top if you like.<\/p>\n\n
