One Pot Chicken & Orzo

For those nights you want something warm, comforting, easy with leftovers. I love this meal because it always is satisfying and it can be made in one pot, which is a win! It is just me and my husband so we get about 6 servings with this, 4 if you like a large bowl. :)

Ingredients

• 3-4 large chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs

• 1 cup orzo

• 2 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

• 2-3 large handfuls of organic spinach

• 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes in evoo

• 2tsp ghee or evoo (I prefer ghee)

• 2 tsp paprika

• 2tsp italian seasoning

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 3-4 garlic cloves minced

• 1 shallot diced ( I recently added this and it’s so good)

• 1/4 cup grated/shredded parmesan cheese

Steps

• Dry chicken breasts and cut into 1 inch cubes

• In a large skillet pot add 1-2 tsp of ghee or evoo and heat to medium high heat

• Add chicken and allow edges to cook, about 3-4 minutes

• Add garlic, shallot and spices, cook another 3-4 minutes

• Add orzo and broth, stir thoroughly and cook for 3-4 minutes

• Add lid to pot and turn down to medium heat, cook for 12 minutes

• Stir a few times to avoid sticking at the bottom of the pan

• Remove lid and turn heat down to low

• Add handfuls of spinach and heavy whipping cream

• Stir till spinach is wilted

• Top with parmesan and serve
