Ingredients

1 tbsp oil
1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 pkg Lemon Chicken Orzo Seasoning, divided
1 ¾ cups hot water
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 cup orzo
¼ cup capers, drained
1 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cups baby spinach

Preparation

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a fry pan. 
  2. Season chicken thighs with 1 tbsp of seasoning. Add chicken to preheated pan; brown 2 min per side. 
  3. Whisk the remaining seasoning with hot water. 
  4. To pan, add reserved seasoning mixture, cherry tomatoes, orzo, capers, and butter. Stir to combine; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover; cook 12 min or until orzo is tender.

Recipe Note

This dish will be very saucy right off the stove—the sauce will thicken as it sits.
