Method

Prepare the Chicken:

Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in the soup pot over medium heat. Sear the chicken until lightly golden on the outside (about 4-5 minutes). Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Aromatics:

In the same pot, add more olive oil if needed. Sauté the onions until translucent (about 3 minutes). Add garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant (1 minute).

Build the Soup Base:

Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Add Cream and Chicken:

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Return the seared chicken pieces to the pot.

Cook the Orzo and Add Add-ins:

Stir in orzo pasta and simmer until the pasta is tender (about 8-10 minutes). Add the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts.
