Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Boursin cheese
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the orzo according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté broccoli and tomatoes until the broccoli is bright green and tender, about 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked orzo, shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, Boursin cheese, and chicken broth. Stir until the cheese melts and coats everything.

Notes
For added crunch, sprinkle panko mixed with butter on top for the last few minutes of baking.
