Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 12x8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
-
Add orzo into the casserole dish. Pour in chicken broth. Add spinach artichoke dip, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes; stir to combine.
-
Season chicken with salt and Italian seasoning. Add chicken to the casserole dish; cover with aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until orzo is tender with a bite, and chicken is no longer pink at the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Remove casserole from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle evenly with panko, mozzarella cheese, and bagel seasoning.
-
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Broil casserole until topping is golden, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
