Chicken & Orzo Lunch for 1

On those days when you don't know what to make for lunch, I encourage you to take stock of what you have on hand. You'd be surprised whaat you can come up with. Today was one of those days. 

Here is  what I had on hand: a large container of pulled rotisserie chicken. I knew I wasn't in the mood for chicken salad, a wrap sandwich, or a salad with chicken on top (all good options, BTW). So after a quick inventory I discovered I had this:

I had some Boursin cheese, sun dried tomatoes, orzo, chicken broth, pulled rotisserie chicken, fresh kale, some Italian seasoning and some garlic powder. I used some previous recipes as a starting point for this recipe, which I almost decided to call  "Kitchen Sink Lunch for 1" since I was throwing in everything but the kitchen sink. After mixing it all together, I baked it for 20 minutes and it came out perfect.

Try it for yourself! I think you'll be surprised.
