Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let it rest.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 cup of orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat and add 2 minced garlic cloves and ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add 4 cups of spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the spinach is wilted, add the drained orzo to the skillet and mix in the juice of 1 lemon and a handful of fresh herbs. Stir until well combined and heated through.
- Slice the rested chicken thighs and layer them on top of the orzo. Garnish with fresh parsley and optional feta cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
