Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3/4 lb. chicken breasts
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 c. chicken broth
  • 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

  • 1 (6-oz.) pkg. baby spinach
  • 1/2 c. chicken broth
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 c. feta cheese

Directions

  1. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, garlic and oregano. Cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is almost fully cooked. Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside.

  2. Combine 2 cups broth, lemon juice and orzo in same skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 8 minutes, or until orzo has absorbed broth and is nearly tender.
