I&rsquo;m pretty sure her recipe is the most viral recipe of all time, and with good reason&ndash;it&rsquo;s delicious and simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This chicken orzo bake has everything a delicious, easy chicken dinner recipe needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&rsquo;s creamy from the block of Boursin in the pan. Yes, a cream sauce without opening a jar or making a roux! We&rsquo;re using the garlic and herb Boursin cheese pyramid that almost every grocery store in the country has, I promise!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This recipe uses affordable and always tender boneless skinless chicken thighs. You can use chicken breasts if that&rsquo;s what your family prefers, but I recommend cutting them in half to ensure the same cook time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We&rsquo;ve got the greens! The chicken casserole contains several handfuls of baby spinach, so I consider this a one pan meal because we have protein, pasta, and veggies right in the same recipe! I love when this happens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo.jpg\" alt=\"Small bowls of pasta, broth, spinach, and spices on kitchen counter.\" class=\"wp-image-79589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Olive Oil<\/strong>. Two tablespoon of olive oil to make sure the mixture doesn&rsquo;t stick to the dish. We&rsquo;ll mix one tablespoon in with the chicken broth, and the other tablespoon over top before baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Orzo Pasta<\/strong>. One and a half cups of regular orzo pasta. I haven&rsquo;t tested this with any other type of pasta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken Broth<\/strong>. Three cups of chicken broth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong>. Four fresh cloves of garlic finely minced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Italian Seasoning<\/strong>. One teaspoon of Italian seasoning blend, which is usually made up of oregano, basil, rosemary thyme, and marjoram.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic Powder<\/strong>. For extra garlic flavor, add one teaspoon of garlic powder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and Pepper<\/strong>. We need one-half teaspoon of salt and one-half teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baby Spinach<\/strong>. Three big handfuls of baby spinach is about 3 loosely-packed cups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken Thighs<\/strong>. For this chicken orzo bake, I used 4 boneless skinless thighs. This is about 1.5 pounds of chicken. Use scissors to quickly trim them of any excess fat or skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boursin Cheese<\/strong>. One 5.3 ounce (150 gram) package of Boursin garlic and fine herb flavored cheese. No, I haven&rsquo;t tested this recipe with any other type of cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-baked-chicken-orzo\">How to Make Baked Chicken Orzo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-5.jpg\" alt=\"Pouring broth in a rectangular baking dish with pasta and herbs.\" class=\"wp-image-79591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-5.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-5-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-5-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-5-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-8.jpg\" alt=\"Fresh baby spinach in a white rectangular baking dish.\" class=\"wp-image-79592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-8.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-8-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-8-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Baked-Chicken-Orzo-8-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a 9&times;13-inch or even an 11&times;9-inch rectangular oven-safe baking dish, add 1 tablespoon of th olive oil, orzo, chicken broth, garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>2.
