Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the orzo pasta to the skillet and toast for about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook the orzo for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it absorbs most of the liquid.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing until a creamy sauce forms. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, cover, and let steam for 4-5 minutes until tender.

Step 6

Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet, mixing it with the creamy orzo and broccoli. Serve warm and enjoy!
