This delicious creamy sun-dried tomato orzo is filled with chicken, spinach and lots of garlic. It’s a really quick and easy, but tasty dinner that everyone will love! Orzo isn’t naturally gluten free, however there are gluten free options which I detail in the FAQs section. If you do make this recipe I’d love to see, don’t forget to tag me in your photos over on social media!
Frequently Asked Questions
Which gluten free orzo do you use?
I use the Tesco Finest Free From Orzo which is really delicious and one of the only UK stockists of gluten free orzo. It’s also really reasonably priced at £1.70 per box.

Instructions
To a large skillet add your cooking oil followed by your diced chicken breast. Cook on a medium to high heat for around 8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked through add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato puree, mixed herbs, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well until everything is coated and cook for a further few minutes.
Next add the dried orzo, followed by your chicken stock (the chicken stock should completely cover the orzo – add slightly more if needed). Give it a good mix and then place a lid on and bring to a boil. Leave to simmer on a low to medium heat for around 15 minutes, until the orzo is cooked through. You will need to give it a stir regularly to stop the orzo from sticking to the pan, you may also need to add more stock or water half way through.
Once the orzo is cooked, add the dairy free cream and mix well. Add a large handful of spinach and stir through until it's wilted.
Serve warm and topped with dairy free cheese.
