This creamy sun-dried tomato orzo all cooks in one pan and is so flavorful. It pairs perfectly with my air fryer parmesan crusted chicken recipe.
Heat oil from sun-dried tomatoes in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add minced shallot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring often. Add orzo, stir to combine, and toast for 1-2 minutes.
Add sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine. Pour in chicken broth. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then turn heat to medium low to simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until liquid is mostly absorbed and orzo is cooked through. Stir occasionally so orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add more chicken broth if necessary.
Once orzo is cooked, turn the heat to low. Add the juice of half a lemon and baby spinach. Stir to combine and let the spinach wilt. Add Boursin cheese and stir well to combine until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately with additional lemon juice, parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Add sliced air fryer parmesan crusted chicken if desired.
