3. Add orzo & broth
   Stir in the uncooked orzo and toast for 1 minute.
   Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
   Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender.

   Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
5. Add the good stuff
   Return the chicken to the pot.
   Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

6. Final touch
   Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
   Let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
