Steps

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment, including a large, oven-safe skillet.
In your preheated skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook bite-sized pieces of chicken, seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for about 5-7 minutes.
Add 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and 1 cup of chopped spinach. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender.
Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil to infuse flavors.
Stir in 2 cups of orzo pasta and dollop in 8 ounces of Boursin cheese, allowing it to melt. Stir gently until creamy.
Remove from heat, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
