- 0.75 Cup heavy cream
- 2 Large Handfuls fresh spinach

Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and slice them into cubes. Set them aside
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil
- Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to cook.
- Add in the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, and cook for 3-4 more minutes.
- Add in the orzo and water (or broth) and stir
- Reduce the heat to medium, then cover the pan and allow it to cook for 12 minutes. Remove the cover every few minutes and stir, to ensure that the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the orzo is cooked through, add in the heavy cream and spinach and stir until the spinach is wilted.
- Finally, add in the freshly-grated parmesan cheese and stir one last time.
