Method

6 steps Oven 400°F 10 min prep · 45 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss Cherry Tomatoes with Olive Oil, half the Salt, and Black Pepper in a large baking dish. Place Garlic And Herb Boursin in the center.
Step 2. Bake until the tomatoes soften and begin to burst, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, season Chicken Breast with the rest of the Salt.
Step 3. Carefully mash the tomatoes and cheese together. Stir in Chicken Broth and Orzo, then spread the seasoned chicken evenly over the top. Cover the dish tightly with foil.

Cook

Step 4. Bake until the orzo is nearly tender, about 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through and replacing the foil.
Step 5. Uncover and stir. Bake until the orzo is tender and the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside, about 5 minutes more.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Stir the bake until creamy and scatter Fresh Basil over the top, if using. Serve from the baking dish.

Tips

Good to know

Check the chicken with an instant-read thermometer; the center should reach 165°F.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water to loosen the orzo.
