Instructions

1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
2
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3
Pour in the dry orzo pasta and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
5
Uncover the skillet and stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk until combined.
6
Add the fresh spinach and stir continuously until it has wilted into the sauce.
7
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
8
Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
