Recipe: Orzo Chicken Dish

 

I feel like I am finding all my recipes from Instagram these days. I had this one on my list for a long time, and I finally made it!

Recipe (4 servings):

🍝 200g Orzo
🐔 320g Cooked chicken (420g raw)
🧀 150g Boursin cheese
🧀 50g Parmesan cheese
🍅 500g Cherry tomatoes
🥬 200g Spinach
🫗 400ml stock
🧂 Salt, pepper

1. Boursin in the middle, combine and mix everything except the Parmesan.

2. Cover and bake at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for ~35 mins.

3. Remove foil, add Parmesan and bake for a further 5-10 mins uncovered

4. Leave 5 mins to cool

Now, of course the first thing I had to do was convert grams to cups, since I don't have a kitchen scale (who has time to weigh their food before they eat it?). But after that, this is a pretty easy recipe, since you just put everything together in one casserole dish.

My only issue is that the recipe isn't totally clear on whether you should mix the Boursin cheese in or leave it in the middle. After trying it, I should have mixed the Boursin in more, because that was the yummiest part! And instead of Parmesan on top, I used shredded mozzarella, which I think made the dish a little creamier. 

This is an easy dish to make using ingredients I always have in the house. I will definitely make this again!
