Garlic Chicken with Orzo Noodles
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into bite-size pieces
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Steps
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add orzo pasta, cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes, and drain.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the garlic and red pepper until garlic is golden brown, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken, season with salt, and cook 2 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned and juices run clear. Reduce heat to medium, and mix in the parsley and cooked orzo. Place spinach in the skillet. Continue cooking 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
