PREPARATION

  • 1

    Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

  • 2

    Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Sauté until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.

  • 3

    In the same skillet, add finely minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 4

    Add the dry orzo to the skillet and toast it lightly for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously.

  • 5

    Pour in about 1 cup of water (or low-sodium chicken broth for extra flavor) and bring to a simmer. Cook until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, roughly 8-10 minutes.

  • 6

    Stir in the low-fat cream cheese until melted and incorporated, creating a creamy sauce.

  • 7

    Mix in the fresh spinach and a squeeze of lemon juice (and a bit of zest), cooking until the spinach wilts.

  • 8

    Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, stirring gently to combine and heat through.

  • 9

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon as desired before serving.
