Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken into bite-sized pieces and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in your large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Next, toss in the chopped carrots and stir to combine with the chicken. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the carrots begin to soften. Then, add the fresh spinach, stirring until it wilts—about a minute or so.
- After the veggies are tender, mix in the orzo pasta to the pot along with the chicken broth and milk. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the mixture to cook for 9-11 minutes, depending on the orzo type, stirring occasionally.
- When the orzo is tender, remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
