Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 °C) (200°C (400 °F)).
Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Place the 5.2 oz package of Boursin cheese in the center of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Add the dry orzo, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, 1/2 cup Parmesan, seasoned chicken, 1 tbsp Herbes de Provence, and the remaining garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper around the cheese.
Pour in the 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream.
Gently stir the ingredients around the Boursin, making sure most of the orzo is covered by the liquid.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74 °C) (74°C (165 °F)).
Remove the foil and stir until the Boursin is fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy.
Stir in the chopped baby spinach until wilted.
If the sauce is thicker than desired, stir in a splash of milk.
Serve immediately with additional Parmesan and red pepper flakes, if desired.
Notes
If the sauce is thicker than desired after baking, stir in a splash of milk to reach your preferred consistency.
