Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake your Million Dollar Chicken Orzo to perfection.
• In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the orzo according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cottage cheese, chicken stock, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
• Add the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese to the creamy mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
• Fold in the cooked chopped chicken and the cooked orzo to the creamy cheese mixture. Ensure that everything is well coated.
• Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the French fried onions for a crunchy topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This Million Dollar Chicken Orzo is best enjoyed warm and can be garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
