Notes
- This recipe is already pretty salty with the chicken broth and Boursin, so the added salt is optional and to taste!
- For the best orzo casserole, let the dish sit for 5-10 minutes after baking to slightly cool and to let the orzo soak up everything a bit more. It's perfect this way!
- Nutrition for this recipe is calculated with regular orzo pasta, but feel free to use this high-protein orzo to add more protein!
