PREPARATION

1
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
2
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
3
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and dry orzo, stirring constantly for 1 minute to lightly toast the grains.
5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until the orzo is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
6
Stir in the fresh baby spinach and grated parmesan cheese until the spinach is wilted and the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
7
Place the sliced chicken on top of the creamy orzo and serve immediately while warm.
