Makes 6 servings⁣
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes (I got @sprouts)⁣
1 tsp paprika⁣
1/2 tsp cumin⁣
1 tsp kosher salt & 1/2 tsp pepper⁣
2 tb olive oil⁣
1 small yellow onion, finely diced⁣
1 shallot, finely diced⁣
4-5 cloves garlic, mashed⁣
2 1/2 cups chicken broth (I used @kettleandfire))⁣
3 tsp dijon mustard (@mailleus)⁣
1 cup orzo⁣
2 large handfuls spinach⁣
1/2 cup full fat coconut milk or heavy cream⁣
⁣
3 lemons (I use @wonderfulseedlesslemons):⁣
1 lemon, zested⁣
2 lemons, juiced (1/4-1/3 cup)⁣
1 lemon, cut into thin slices⁣
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated⁣
⁣
Cut chicken into cubes and toss in the seasonings. Add olive oil to a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Stir and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges start to cook. Remove chicken from the skillet and add 1 more tsp of olive oil to the pan, if desired. Add the onion, shallot and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth and mustard, stirring well, then add the orzo. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Once the orzo is cooked through, add the spinach, coconut milk/heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice and parmesan cheese. Stir another minute or so until the spinach is wilted. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If your orzo needs a few extra minutes to finish cooking, that’s ok - every brand pasta is a little different! Plate and enjoy! ⁣
