Description

The recipe serves about 4 people but you could easily double it.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Orzo Pasta, Uncooked
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper
  • 2 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, Cut Into Bite Size Pieces
  • Salt To Taste
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley, Chopped
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Leaves
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese, Plus More For Sprinkling On Top

Preparation

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente and drain.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the garlic and red pepper for 1 minute until garlic is golden brown. Stir in chicken, season with salt and cook 2 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned and juices run clear.

Reduce heat slightly and mix in the parsley and cooked pasta. Place spinach in the skillet and continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until spinach is wilted. Add parmesan cheese.

Serve with extra parmesan for topping!

This was a great recipe. It was quick, easy, and pretty healthy! I was surprised that it had so much flavor, because it seems so basic. I actually used farafalle because I didn’t have any orzo on hand, but it still worked. My husband and I ate almost all of it for dinner last night…but I’m pregnant, so it was sort of like there were three people eating, right? :)
