Creating this Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Orzo is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

3. Cook Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the pot and cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Broth and Orzo: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the orzo pasta.
5. Season: Add the frozen mixed vegetables, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
6. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
7. Stir in Cream: Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
