Creamy Lemon Chicken Orzo Skillet
Sautéed chicken and orzo simmered in a bright, velvety lemon sauce with fresh spinach for a vibrant and comforting one-pan meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup dry orzo
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sauté until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and add the minced garlic and dry orzo, toasting for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the orzo is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and baby spinach, folding until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is creamy.
Return the chicken to the skillet, toss to combine, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
