Prepare all your ingredients by slicing the mushrooms, dicing the onion, and finely chopping the garlic and parsley.
Season the chicken with Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the butter or oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, cook the onion for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. If needed, add a splash of water to deglaze the pan.
Stir through the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the dry orzo and stir for 1 minute to lightly toast.
Pour in the bone broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the orzo is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Return the chicken to the pan along with any resting juices and stir through.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir through the Greek yoghurt, parmesan, spinach, and parsley until the spinach has wilted and everything is thick, creamy, and well combined.
Taste and season with salt, pepper, and chilli flakes.
Serve with extra Parmigiano Reggiano, fresh parsley, and enjoy!

For a richer flavour, use chicken thighs instead of breast.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of chilli flakes.
Can I use a different type of mushroom?

Can I substitute the orzo with another pasta?
Yes, you can use any small pasta shape, but cooking times may vary.
Is there a dairy-free option?
You can use a dairy-free yoghurt alternative and omit the parmesan for a dairy-free version.
How can I make this dish vegetarian?
Replace the chicken with chickpeas or tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare it in advance and reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth if needed.
