Preparation Steps
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Slice the leeks, mince the garlic, and zest and juice the lemon.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, sauté the trimmed asparagus with salt and pepper for about 6-9 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, adding another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Sauté sliced leeks for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute.
- Stir in the orzo and lightly toast for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in chicken broth and water, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover, allowing to simmer for 10-12 minutes until orzo absorbs the liquid.
- Fold the sautéed chicken and asparagus back into the skillet. Crumble Boursin cheese over and stir gently until the cheese melts.
- Remove from heat, cover for 4-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with lemon juice, salt, and pepper before serving.
