Recipes:
For the Chicken:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Orzo:
1 cup orzo pasta
1 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in orzo and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and add spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, heavy cream, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until creamy and well combined.
Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the orzo. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm. Enjoy!
