Looking for something different to make for your family’s dinner? This one-pan creamy tomato chicken and orzo is SO delicious and not difficult at all!
Combine seared chicken and orzo pasta with fresh tomatoes and spinach to make this super flavorful (and comforting) dish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins or cutlets
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 1 10 oz package cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup orzo
- 3-4 handfuls fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
Directions
- Season the chicken evenly with the spices (salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika, and garlic powder).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and allow to sear and get golden brown before flipping (about 3 minutes on each side). Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside (the chicken won't be finished cooking; it will continue cooking in the pan later on).
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and onion to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the tomatoes have started releasing their juices.
- Slowly add the chicken broth while also stirring and scraping up the golden bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the orzo. Chop the reserved chicken into chunks and add it back into the pan.
- Allow to come to a light boil, lower the heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cover and allow to cook for 2-3 more minutes while some of the remaining liquid cooks off.
- Add the spinach and allow it cook down and wilt (this won't take long at all). Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Serve hot!

As summer starts getting into full swing, it’s only a matter of time before my kids start with the “Mama, what can I doooo” and “Mama I’m bored”. I actually don’t think there’s anything wrong with a kid being bored. Boredom is good for kids’ brains and often leads to them finding something really fun and creative to do (unless you’re my preschooler, and then it just leads to a huge mess).
There are times, like when it’s been raining for days or when it’s over 100 degrees outside when a fresh idea can help improve everyone’s attitudes. So today I’m bringing you 27 boredom busters for kids, all of which can be done at home with little-to-no prep or mess. To me, a true boredom buster doesn’t require a lot of work from me—either in getting it prepped or in helping to clean it up. These are all fun ideas for kids to do, and if you have older kids, they can do them all by themselves!
If you’d like to get out of the house instead, pack your Summer Go Bag and see if a city close to you is on our Top 25 Free Things to Do Pinterest board!
27 Summer Boredom Busters for Kids
Have a Scavenger Hunt
Quickly write up a list of household items or outside items for your kids to find (or let your kids make it up for each other!). You could have them try to find different amounts of things (1 rock, 2 pinecones, etc.) or do a color themed hunt (a red shoe, a black button, a green cup, etc.)
Paint Rocks
Use rocks from around your yard and whatever paint you have. You can also use Sharpies to write words on them!
Paint with Shaving Cream
Pull out shaving cream and cookie sheets and add food coloring if you want.
