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.
