Equipment

  • 1 skillet with lid

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts (cubed)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 3/4 cup frozen spinach (drained well)
  • 1 13 oz canned quartered artichoke hearts (drained)
  • 1 tsp garlic (fresh, minced)
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet on medium heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add cubed chicken breasts, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Sauté until chicken is browned, fully cooked, and transfer to a bowl.
  • Leaving brown bits in pan from chicken, add drained spinach, drained artichokes, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Sauté until artichokes have a slight brown. Add minced garlic. Turn heat to low, and add uncooked orzo. Stir until orzo is slightly toasted. Return cooked chicken to orzo.
  • Add chicken broth to the orzo/spinach/artichoke mixture (slowly, so it does not splatter). Add lid to pan, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir, and return lid to pan.
  • Turn heat off once orzo has absorbed liquid. Add cream cheese, and shredded cheese, and add lid to pan to melt. Once cream cheese is soft, stir into orzo and serve immediately.
  • Serve & enjoy!
