Cajun Chicken Orzo

Mixing Cajun flavor with a creamy pasta is just the recipe we’d been missing and now it’s a favorite in our house!

This makes about 4 servings.

NOTES I used two large chicken breasts. We had to add another half cup of chicken broth during the cooking process so the orzo wouldn’t dry out. We also added a chopped jalapeno for an extra layer of spice.
