Instructions
1
Heat a large deep pan to medium heat. While waiting for the pan to heat up
season the chicken with pepper and garlic powder. Once the pan is hot, add the
extra virgin olive oil to the pan.
2
Place the chicken immediately into the pan, leave it there for 2 minutes, then
flip to the other side and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
3
Both sides should start to become golden brown, but the center will still look
uncooked if not golden, give each side another minute your pan wasn't hot
enough. Turn the heat to low and cover the chicken with a lid. Let it cook for
aboutĀ 7Ā minutes, then flip and cover again for anotherĀ 7Ā minutes.
4
AfterĀ 7Ā minutes on each side covered, the chicken should be done. But this does
depend on the size of the chicken breast these times are based onāĀ 7Ā oz breasts.
It is always best to check the internal temperature of chicken before serving.Ā
My rule of thumb is, once covered, cook the chicken for 1 minute per ounce per
side, I find that this delivers a perfect juicy chicken breast every time.
5
Once the chicken is done remove from the pan, leaving the juices in the pan.
6
Keeping the heat at medium add the mushrooms, diced onions and garlic to the pan
with the juices. The chicken juice is going to add a ton of flavor to this dish.
Cook the mushrooms and onions, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes, until
they begin to soften and become aromatic.
7
After 5 minutes add the water and orzo to the pan. Season with additional salt,
pepper, and garlic salt. Bring the water to a simmer and cook down until most of
the water has evaporated/soaked into the orzo. Stir often to prevent the orzo
from burning on the bottom of the pan. Cooking the orzo typically takes about
8-10 minutes. At this point the orzo should be done.
8
While the orzo is cooking us a fork and knife to shred the chicken.
9
Add the torn spinach, shredded chicken, and cheese to the pan. Cook for an
additional 2 minutes, until the spinach has wilted and the cheese is
incorporated into the orzo.
10
Serve and enjoy, or portion out into your meal prep containers to enjoy later.
