Cooking Steps
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return orzo to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over half the Dill-Garlic Spice Blend.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Cook chicken in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.
- Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-10 min.**
- Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/2-inch pieces (use whole onion for 4 ppl).
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Meanwhile, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the same pan (used in step 2), then swirl the pan to melt.
- Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add tomato sauce base to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it coats onions, 1-2 min.
- Once orzo is done, add onions, reserved pasta water, remaining Dill-Garlic Spice Blend and half the chicken stock powder (use all for 4 ppl) to the pot with orzo.
- Heat pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Add spinach and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Stir until well combined, 1 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice chicken.
- Divide orzo between bowls, then top with chicken.
- Sprinkle over feta.
If you've opted for double chicken, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the regular portion of chicken. Work in batches, if necessary.
