Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

1. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes, sautéing for another minute.

Step 3: Cook the Orzo

1. Add the orzo to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the butter and aromatics.
2. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet, letting the orzo cook for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Make It Creamy

1. Once the orzo is tender, pour in the heavy cream and stir well.
2. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and let everything simmer together for 3-5 minutes.

Step 5: Add Spinach and Cheese

1. Stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt into the sauce.
2. Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce is thick and creamy.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
