1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and
cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and orzo, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender.
Stir in cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking until spinach wilts.
In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta, Parmesan, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then stir in the ricotta mixture until everything is well combined and creamy.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately.
