Creamy Chicken Orzo with Mushrooms and Spinach (30-Minutes, ONE-PAN)

Creamy Chicken Orzo with Mushrooms and Spinach is a 30-minute one-pan well-balanced weeknight meal that has everything: protein, veggies, and pasta! Skinless boneless chicken thighs are pan-seared with paprika and Italian seasoning. It's the perfect comfort food that will surely become one of your family's favorite dinners! My other favorite quick and easy orzo pasta recipes are pesto chicken orzo with tomatoes and reader-favorite Tuscan shrimp orzo.

30-minute one-pan meal

If you're looking for quick and easy recipes to add to your dinner rotation, this delicious creamy chicken orzo with mushrooms and spinach is a must-try. Even though it takes only 30 minutes from start to finish, the final dish looks and tastes like an entree from a fine-dining Italian restaurant. It's a winning combo of ingredients: skinless boneless chicken breasts, orzo pasta, spinach, mushrooms, and cream. The seasonings are spot on - paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic, and red pepper flakes.

Main ingredients

Chicken - I used skinless boneless chicken thighs. They are super easy and forgiving to cook. You can also use skinless, boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenderloins.

Orzo is an Italian pasta that is shaped and looks like long rice.

Mushrooms. I used fresh baby Bella mushrooms. Other good options are crimini, white mushrooms, portobello, or shiitake.

Spinach is packed with nutrients and antioxidants. It’s high in fiber and a good source of many vitamins and minerals. Spinach is a great source of vitamins A and C, as well as folic acid, iron, and calcium. I used fresh spinach - you can also use frozen spinach - thawed and drained of any liquid. Or, use kale instead.

Seasonings include paprika, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes.

Cream. I used only ½ cup of heavy cream to add a touch of creaminess to the chicken orzo.

Olive oil is for sauteeing mushrooms.

Chicken broth is used to cook the orzo. You can also use vegetable or beef broth (or stock). Or, even water if don't have chicken stock available.

Cooking Tips

Use a high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet such as a cast-iron skillet or a good-quality stainless steel pan. This will help avoid the burn spots and will ensure even cooking without food getting stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Reduce calories by using chopped cauliflower or cauliflower rice instead of orzo.

You can use either heavy cream or half-and-half - both work equally well!

Toppings. When serving, you can add grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, or cracked black pepper to the creamy chicken orzo.

Ingredients

Chicken

1.3 lb skinless boneless chicken thighs

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon salt or to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Mushrooms

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 oz baby bella mushrooms or crimini

salt and pepper

Creamy orzo

1 cup orzo uncooked

2 cups chicken broth or stock

5 cloves garlic minced

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbs from Provence

½ teaspoon paprika or more

¼ teaspoon salt or more to taste

5 oz fresh spinach

½ cup heavy cream

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste

Instructions 

Cook chicken

Season the chicken thighs with Italian seasoning, paprika, and salt.

Heat an empty, high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet (such as a cast-iron or stainless steel pan) over medium heat for 2 minutes. This allows the skillet to heat through.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chicken thighs. Cook the chicken on medium heat for 5 minutes on one side, undisturbed. This allows the chicken to sear.

Flip the chicken thighs over, reduce heat to low-medium, and cook for about 5 more minutes or longer on the other side, without moving it, until it's cooked through.

The meat thermometer should register 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the chicken. Remove the chicken from the skillet.

Cook mushrooms

Add sliced mushrooms, generously seasoned with salt and pepper, to the same, now empty, skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes (flipping once) until lightly browned and softened. Remove half of the cooked mushrooms from the skillet to a plate.

Make creamy orzo

Add uncooked orzo, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the same skillet with half of the cooked mushrooms.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer (medium-low) and cook for about 5 or 10 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pan until the orzo is cooked through.

Add fresh spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking the orzo.

Add ½ cup of cream. Stir everything on low-medium - do not bring the sauce to a boil.

Season with salt and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Assembly

Stir in the remaining half of cooked mushrooms.

Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Reheat gently on low heat.

Applewood smoked bacon complements a couple spring produce favorites, fresh fava beans and morel mushrooms, while lemon zest and black truffle butter add layers of flavor. Morels are known as a chef’s mushroom with an opulent, earthy flavor and texture that builds wonderful, rich sauces as well as elevating what most would call a simple pasta salad as in this recipe.

Salmon with Orzo & Spinach - A One Dish Dinner

I knew when I saw this recipe for Salmon with Orzo & Spinach that it would be very delicious and I was right! It was really easy to make and came together quickly…plus it really makes a beautiful presentation! I would give it five stars for ease and deliciousness…it’s definitely a keeper! Keep scrolling for a few tips to make this recipe come out perfectly every time!

When making this, I added about 3 tablespoons of melted butter before I added the orzo to the pan. The butter gives the whole dish a creamy richness that just melts in your mouth. I didn’t include that in the recipe because it’s really indulgent, but if you feel like indulging, go ahead and add it! Also, I used 6 ounce salmon fillets with the skin on. When I took the baked dish out of the oven, I pulled the skin right off the bottom of the fish and that made it so easy to serve and eat. No need to take the fish out of the baking dish because the skin pulls right off.

If you want your salmon to be more on the rare side, cook the orzo for about 10 minutes and then add the fish instead of adding it at the beginning.

I cooked the salmon and orzo in an oval baking dish, but you could certainly use a rectangular one!

This dish would be perfect for entertaining and also great for a weeknight dinner! It’s really one of the best salmon dishes I’ve ever made! I hope you love it!
