Garlic Chicken and Spinach Orzo
Pan-seared chicken breast and tender orzo simmered in a fragrant garlic broth, finished with vibrant wilted spinach and a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup dry orzo
2 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 clove garlic
0.5 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to rest, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the dry orzo to the pan and toast slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, covering the pan and cooking until the orzo is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Stir in the fresh baby spinach until it is just wilted and vibrant green.
Return the sliced chicken to the pan, stir in the lemon juice and parmesan cheese, and serve warm.
