Lemon Herb Orzo with Sautéed Spinach and Pan-Seared Chicken
Tender chicken breast pan-seared until golden and served over zesty lemon-herb orzo with vibrant sautéed spinach for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Orzo pasta
2 cup Fresh spinach
1.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the orzo according to package directions until al dente.
While the orzo cooks, season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and golden.
Remove the chicken from the pan to rest for a few minutes, then add the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of olive oil and the minced garlic to the same skillet.
Toss in the fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted and bright green.
Drain the cooked orzo and stir it into the skillet with the spinach, adding the lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, and the remaining seasonings.
Slice the rested chicken breast and serve it over the warm lemon-herb orzo and spinach mixture.
