- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup Boursin cheese

Instructions

Notes
For a gluten-free version, substitute orzo with gluten-free orzo. For a dairy-free option, consider a plant-based herbed cheese spread instead of Boursin.
