Instructions

Add diced chicken, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, onion, and chicken broth to the crockpot. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and orzo. Cover and cook for an additional 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking.
Add the chopped spinach and Parmesan (if using). Stir until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts into the sauce.
Serve warm as a hearty, comforting meal. Garnish with extra Parmesan if desired.
