Instructions

1 Heat a large stove top pan, with high sides and a lid to medium heat.’
2 While the pan is heating season the chicken breasts on both sides, with black
pepper and garlic powder.’
3 Once the pan is hot, add the oil to the pan.’ Place the chicken immediately in
the pan, leave them there on medium heat for 3 minutes, then flip to the other
side and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Both sides should start to become
golden brown, but the center will still look uncooked…If not, give each side
another minute…your pan wasn't hot enough.
4 Add the diced onions and garlic to the pan, stirring around the chicken breast
for 1-2 minutes. Enough for the onions and garlic to soak up any juice and begin
to soften.
5 Add the water and chicken base to the pan with the chicken and onions. Stir the
liquid around to fully incorporate the chicken base into the water.
6 Now add the orzo and diced tomatoes to the pan. Stir everything together
surrounding the chicken breast.
7 Then cover with a lid, turn the heat down to medium low and cook for 12-14
minutes. Lifting the lid and stirring the ingredients and flipping the chicken
halfway thru. Return the lid and finish cooking for the remainder of the time.
8 Once the 12 minutes is done, most of the liquid should be absorbed into the orzo
pasta. Add the shredded mozzarella and spinach to the pan and stir everything
together until the cheese has melted and the spinach has wilted into the orzo
and tomatoes.
9 Serve by plating the orzo and tomato, topping with the chicken and a sprinkle of
diced scallions. Or portion out to your meal prep containers.
