Recipe of the Week - Boursin Chicken and Orzo

 I am always looking for new crock pot recipes.  This one I found from AllRecipes.com.  I was looking for a new chicken dish to make and chose to try this one.  Plus, I had never cooked orzo at that point, so I wanted to try something new, and this fit the bill.  I definitely enjoyed this and will add it to my recipe canon.  It came across as having an almost stew like consistency which was fine with me.  It did thicken up the next day and was even better!

Boursin Chicken and Orzo

1.5 lbs skinless boneless chicken breast

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp fresh black pepper

1 can Italian style diced tomatoes

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup orzo pasta

2 (5.2oz) packages Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese

5 oz baby spinach

1 tsp lemon juice

Place chicken in crock pot.  Season with salt and pepper.  Top with tomatoes and pour chicken broth around the chicken.  Cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours.  Remove chicken from crock pot and cut into 1-inch pieces.  Return to crock pot.  Stir in orzo and Boursin cheese.  Cook on high until pasta is tender - about 35-40 minutes.  Stir in spinach until wilted.  Stir in lemon juice.  Serve.
