Recipe: chicken and orzo
We have been loving this one pot chicken and orzo! The spinach and mushrooms make this a complete meal and it’s so easy to make all in one pot. Feel free to add more chicken if it fits and you’ve got more mouths to feed, or if you want to save it for meal prep throughout the week.
INGREDIENTS
Butter (or olive oil)
Chicken thighs
Salt and pepper
Spinach
Sliced mushrooms
Orzo (the packet I used was 16oz)
Garlic
Chicken broth (I used a full container which is 4 cups)
Parmesan cheese to top it off!
HOW TO
Butter in pan and sear chicken on medium high 3-4 minutes each side. Just enough to get that skin nice and crispy! Place chicken on a plate and to side.
Lightly sauté spinach and mushrooms
Add orzo, garlic, and chicken broth (use amount orzo pack recommended per amount plus a little extra to account for other ingredients in dish soaking it up a bit) and give another stir.
Place chicken back in
Bring to boil then back down to simmer
Cover and cook for 20+ minutes until all liquid is absorbed and chicken is cooked through (165).
Top with Parmesan cheese!
