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. 
  5. Increase the heat and gradually stir in spinach until wilted, and the sauce thickens.

Recipe Note

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