Creating your own One Pot Chicken Orzo is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
3. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
4. Add Orzo: Stir in the orzo pasta, mixing thoroughly to combine with the chicken and vegetables.
5. Incorporate Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and add Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle boil.
6. Add Cherry Tomatoes: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
7. Finish with Spinach: Add the chopped spinach during the final minute of cooking. Stir until wilted.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.

Following these steps will ensure your One Pot Chicken Orzo turns out perfect every time, offering a burst of flavors with every forkful.
