Lemon-Herb Chicken Orzo Skillet
Pan-seared chicken and tender orzo simmered in a bright lemon-garlic broth with fresh spinach and fragrant herbs for a vibrant, one-pan meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.33 cup Dry orzo pasta
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the cubed chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on all sides.
Add the minced garlic and dry orzo to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until the orzo is lightly toasted and fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, using a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful browned bits.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the orzo is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh baby spinach, lemon zest, and chopped parsley, allowing the spinach to wilt naturally in the residual heat before serving.
