**While we’re off in Jamaica on our honeymoon, I’ve scheduled a great variety of guest posts to keep you entertained! Please enjoy, and I’ll “see” you in a week!”
Today’s guest post comes from Spiceaholic, the fantastic blogger behind Spice’s Bites.
Hi everyone, I’m so excited to do another guest post for Mara while she’s on her much-deserved honeymoon.
Tonight’s dinner is one of those “toss some stuff together in a pan” kind of dinners I tend to do during the week. It goes together pretty quickly and tastes great!
Greek-Style Chicken, Spinach, Feta, and Orzo
1.5 lb. chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups uncooked orzo
at least 2 handfuls baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
1 tbsp. olive oil
1.5 tsp. minced garlic
Greek seasoning to taste — or just use Italian seasoning
Bring a pot full of water to boil. Once it comes to a boil, add the orzo and boil for 9 minutes. Once it’s cooked, add 1 cup cold water to stop the cooking and drain.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet and lightly brown garlic. Add chicken and start seasoning like crazy. Brown the chicken pieces well and cook most of the way through. Then add baby spinach and cook until spinach is wilted and chicken cooked through.
Add the drained orzo to the pan and stir to combine. Now add the feta and keep stirring to incorporate everything. Taste for seasoning and serve.
Yum! This looks hearty and perfect for the COLD weather we are having!
