If you’ve already tried my Marry Me Chicken recipe, you’ll know how totally delicious it is (chicken, cream, sun dried tomatoes and parmesan… yum). I wanted to do a version of this that meant we didn’t have to faff about with side dishes or extra cooking and cleaning up, but still kept those amazing flavours. What better than a one pot pasta?! And so I have combined the best bits from two of my popular recent recipes – Marry Me Chicken and Orzo Bolognese!
Why you’ll love this Chicken Orzo recipe
⭐️ So easy and simple ingredients ⭐️ Super quick for so much flavour – only 30 minutes ⭐️ One big pot makes a full meal for everyone If you’re wondering what on earth ‘Marry Me’ is all about in a recipe title, I explain it all in the original recipe here. And then there’s my Orzo Bolognese, which is equally as popular and is a new take on the old classic, Spag Bol. So many people have told me how much their families are loving this one, and the cooks of the family are equally impressed because it’s so bloomin’ easy! You really can’t beat a trusty half-an-hour one pot. I wanted to add a portion of veg into this full meal, so we’ve gone for spinach. It works really well as it cooks so easily down into the sauce and the flavour is great with the rich sauce, adding a little balance. I hope you love this MARRIAGE of two recipes, which I think come together beautifully to give us a mouthwatering family favourite.
Have you tried orzo yet?
If you haven’t tried cooking with orzo yet, I urge you to give it a go! Kids and adults alike love it, and I am really enjoying exploring new orzo recipes because it’s so versatile.

Substitutions
Vegetarian – You could use a meat alternative for the chicken and swap the stock for vegetable
In the freezer Orzo is always at its best when cooked and eaten immediately, but it could be frozen if you have leftovers at a push. Just be aware the texture can just become very stodgy and the cream can sometimes split. See the tip above for reheating.
