Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup orzo pasta
– 3 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
– 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)

– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating your One Pan Chicken Orzo Dinner is straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:

1. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Add Orzo and Seasoning: Add the orzo pasta and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Mix well, and then return the chicken to the pan.
5. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
6. Add Spinach: Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed with more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor and presentation.
9. Serve: Plate your One Pan Chicken Orzo Dinner while it’s hot, allowing everyone to enjoy the delicious aroma and flavors.
