It is Monday and I know you all want a super quick weeknight
dinner idea. Get ready cause I have a great one for you.
This skillet dinner has it all, chicken, pasta, spinach and
the best part, FETA CHEESE‼ I love feta cheese!
What you need,
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch
pieces
1 cup uncooked Orzo
8 cups water
1 16oz. can chopped tomatoes, drained
2 tsp. tomato paste
½ tsp crushed red pepper
Salt and Pepper
3 cups baby spinach leaves
3 oz. feta cheese crumbled
In a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat, cook the
chicken for 5-6 minutes until it is well browned. Remove the chicken from the
pan and set aside.
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the orzo
and cook for about 8 minutes until el dente. Drain the pasta in a colander,
reserving ¼ cup of the cooking liquid.
To the skillet add the tomato paste, chopped tomato,
reserved cooking liquid, red pepper flakes. Cook over medium high heat for
about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and the pasta to the pan and stir to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Add in the spinach leaves and stir until just wilted 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle on the
crumbled feta cheese.
That is it, super easy! This is a fantastic weeknight meal, it
took no time at all and it tastes amazing!
Enjoy!
