DinnerStovetop30 minServes 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken thighs, cubed
• 1 cup orzo
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 lemon
• 3 cups spinach
• 1/3 cup parmesan
• 1 tbsp oil

Amounts are scaled from the original 4 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.

Steps

1. Brown the chicken in oil 5 minutes.
2. Add orzo and stir 1 minute, then the broth; simmer 10-12 minutes, stirring, until the orzo is tender and the chicken reaches 165°F.
3. Stir in spinach, lemon juice and parmesan.

Swaps

• Water plus a bouillon cube or a spoon of soy sauce can replace broth.
• Lime juice or a small splash of vinegar can stand in for lemon.
• Kale, chard or frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed) all work instead of fresh spinach.

Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
