  Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

  Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and set aside.

• 4

  In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and dry orzo, stirring for 1 minute until the orzo is lightly toasted and fragrant.

• 5

  Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.

  Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the orzo has absorbed the liquid and is tender.

  Stir in the fresh baby spinach, lemon zest, and fresh chopped parsley, allowing the heat to wilt the greens for about 1 minute.
