## Tips

- Using basil, garlic, and oregano diced tomatoes adds extra flavor when working with few ingredients.
- Cooking chicken on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours is ideal.
- Do not dice the chicken beforehand to prevent overcooking.
- Ensure about 3 cups of liquid; adjust by adding more broth if needed after pasta is added.
- Herb and garlic flavored cream cheese can be used as a substitute for Boursin cheese to save money.
- The starch from cooking orzo in the liquid makes the dish extra creamy.
- A squeeze of lemon brightens up the flavors.
