Cooking Steps
- In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach; cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Pour in heavy cream and add freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth and begins to bubble. Keep the heat on medium until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce the orzo to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Return the cooked chicken to the pan, nestling it among the orzo.
- Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet, letting it simmer for about 12-15 minutes. Stir occasionally until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the sauce.
- Check the seasoning, adjusting with salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes. Serve hot, garnished with more grated Parmesan and fresh herbs.
