250 g fresh spinach
300 g orzo
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
150 ml dry white wine
200 ml chicken broth
120 ml heavy cream
50 g grated mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
30 g grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Method

1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, sprinkle with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
2
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
5
To the pan with spinach, sprinkle smoked paprika and cook for another minute.
6
Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly, about 3 minutes.
7
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cooked chicken and orzo back into the pan, mixing well to combine.
8
Add the grated mozzarella cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
9
Serve the creamy chicken and spinach orzo hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
