This easy slow cooker Boursin chicken and pasta features boneless chicken breasts, spinach, and orzo pasta in a creamy tomato and Boursin sauce.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast

1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste

1 can Italian-style diced tomatoes

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup orzo pasta

2 (5.2 ounce) packages garlic and herb flavored Gournay cheese (such as Boursin®)

5 ounces baby spinach

1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken into a slow cooker; season with salt and pepper. Top with tomatoes and pour chicken broth around chicken. Cook on High for 2 hours or on Low for 4 hours.
  2. Remove chicken from slow cooker and cut it into 1-inch pieces; return chicken to slow cooker. Stir in orzo and Boursin cheese. Cook on High until pasta is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes.
  3. Stir in spinach until wilted and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cook the pasta to al dente to ensure it doesn’t overcook in the slow cooker.

Add the spinach at the very end to retain its freshness.

Optional: Use fresh herbs for garnish for an extra burst of flavor.
