Ingredients

* Chicken Breast, 12 oz *Orzo, Barilla, uncooked, 8 oz* Olive Oil, 2 tsp * Garlic, 1 tbs* Spinach, fresh, 3 cup *Campbell's low sodium chicken broth, 2 cup * Water, tap, 1 cup (8 fl oz) * Parmesan Cheese, grated, 4 tbsp Seasonings...Pinch of red pepper flakesdried basilPaprikaOriginal recipe called for fresh parsley and since I didn't have I used some dried

Directions

1. Add chicken broth and one cup of water to a pot, bring to a boil. Add orzo pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, or until orzo absorbs most of the liquid. (leave some liquid in pot. Mine was mostly soaked up and made the orzo stick to the pot. I just added a bit of water to it)

2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the garlic and red pepper 1 minute, until garlic is golden brown. Stir in chicken, season with remaining seasoning and cook 5 minutes, until lightly browned and juices run clear. Reduce heat to medium and mix in cooked orzo. Place spinach in the skillet. Continue cooking 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.(I served out one portion and added 1 tbs of the cheese to it)
