1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning (2g)

1 tbsp olive oil (15 ml)

1 ½ cups dry orzo pasta (300g)

Season the Chicken: Pat chicken dry and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken, and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Toast the Orzo: Stir in dry orzo and cook for 1 minute to lightly toast.
Simmer the Orzo: Pour in chicken broth, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender and creamy.
Make it Creamy: Lower heat and stir in Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan until smooth.
Add Spinach: Fold in spinach and let it wilt into the orzo.
Finish the Dish: Nestle chicken back into the pan and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to warm through and absorb flavor.
