In the same skillet, add butter and garlic, sautéing until fragrant. 3. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1–2 minutes to release their flavor. 4. Add the orzo and toast lightly for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. 5. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, cooking until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. 6. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. 7. Add spinach and cooked chicken back into the skillet, stirring until the spinach wilts and everything is coated in the creamy sauce. 8. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened and rich. 9.
