My very first recipe is a take on @kalejunkie’s Marry Me Orzo, and it was a WINNER! 🙌⁠
⁠
Creamy, easy to make, and 41g of protein per serving. This is exactly the kind of dinner I love. It tastes good, the whole family can eat it, and you’re still getting plenty of protein.⁠

⁠
MARRY ME ORZO⁠
⁠
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed⁠
1 tbsp avocado oil⁠
1 tbsp minced garlic⁠
1 (8.5 oz) jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained⁠
1 tbsp Italian seasoning⁠
1/2 tsp kosher salt⁠
1 tsp ground black pepper⁠
1 cup dry orzo⁠
2 3/4 cups chicken broth⁠
3/4 cup heavy cream⁠
2 large handfuls fresh spinach⁠
Fresh Parmesan, optional⁠
⁠
Heat avocado oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges begin to cook.⁠
⁠
Add sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook for another 3–4 minutes.⁠
⁠
Add the orzo and chicken broth and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring every few minutes so nothing sticks.⁠
⁠
Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the heavy cream. Add spinach, cover for 1 minute to wilt, then stir again. Top with fresh Parmesan if you’d like!⁠
⁠
Makes 5 servings⁠
