A bubbling casserole with creamy orzo, tender chicken, and vibrant veggies in a silky Boursin cheese sauce—comforting, indulgent, and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5.2 ounces Boursin Garlic & Herb Cheese
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked (about 5 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, then toss in the garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the zucchini and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for about 4 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove the veggies and set aside.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Boursin cheese until smooth.
  6. In your baking dish, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed veggies, and uncooked orzo. Pour the Boursin sauce over the top and stir to combine.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using), and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes until the top is lightly golden and bubbling.
  9. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the creamy deliciousness!

Notes

[‘Use room temperature Boursin cheese for smoother blending.’, ‘Don’t overcook the chicken; it will continue cooking in the oven.’, ‘Cover tightly with foil to ensure even cooking of the orzo.’, ‘Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking to set.’]
