Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

  • 2 cups spinach

  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta

Instructions:

  2. In the same skillet, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
