Gluten-free One-pan Chicken And Orzo (aip, Paleo, Dairy-free)
  1. To a large bowl, add chicken thighs, 2 TBSP olive oil, dried herbs, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well to coat chicken in herb marinade.* Let chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes.**

  2. Preheat oven to 400F.

  3. Heat a large cast iron skillet (or other oven-safe skillet) to medium heat with remaining 2 TBSP olive oil.

  4. Once oil is hot, place chicken skin side down and sear on both sides until golden brown (approx 3-4 mins per side). Remove from heat and set aside.

  5. To the same skillet, add diced onion, garlic and salt, and sauté until onions turn translucent (approx 5-6 mins). If necessary, add a splash of water to the pan to loosen any brown bits.

  6. Add apple cider vinegar, coconut milk and chicken stock or bone broth and bring to a simmer.

  7. Stir in orzo and spinach and bring to a boil.

  8. Re-add chicken to the pan onto the orzo and spinach mixture. Transfer to the oven to bake, uncovered for 20-22 minutes or until thermometer inserted into chicken reads 165F.

  9. Finish with squeeze of fresh lemon juice and fresh herbs (if desired).
