Another 5-minute meal prep for a super easy dinner that only takes 5 easy ingredients. There aren’t any veggies in this dish, so I served my orzo bake with a side of green beans. Easy peasy. PS- while baking, I changed the temp to 400°F and reduced the cooking time from what I said in the video. 😘

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Pour orzo into a 9 x 13 baking dish and place Boursin cheese in the center of the dish.
Pour broth over the orzo and mix to coat.
Chop chicken into small bite-size pieces and add to the baking dish. Mix everything, leaving the cheese in the center.
Pour the juice of one lemon over the pasta.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pasta is soft.
Remove from the oven and mix everything together to evenly distribute the cheese.
Serve with a vegetable of your choice.
Adjust the amount of broth based on how creamy you want the orzo bake to be.
Serve with a side of green beans or your favorite vegetable for a complete meal.
If using lemon pepper chicken, it will add an extra layer of flavor to the dish.
