Ingredients
Scale
1 pound Chicken thighs
1 cup Orzo pasta
8 ounces Mushrooms
4 cloves Garlic
1 medium Onion
4 cups Chicken broth
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
2 cups Spinach (optional)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)
Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and mushrooms to the pot, cooking until the mushrooms are tender, around 5-7 minutes.
Next, add the chicken thighs to the pot, cooking until they are browned on all sides, approximately 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the orzo, coating it with the oil and flavors from the pot, for about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the orzo is al dente.
Once cooked, check that the chicken is fully cooked through. If using, stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or your choice of topping. Enjoy your warm, comforting meal!
