    Chicken Orzo Skillet Recipe

    Here’s a great one-skillet supper that’s colorful, healthy, filling and definitely special! Our taste testers loved the blend of spices, the touch of heat and the sophisticated flavor that make this dish a must-try. Kellie Mulleavy - Lambertville, Michigan

    Healthy

    * 4 Servings
    * Prep: 15 min.
    * Cook: 20 min.
    Ingredients
    * 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
    * 2 teaspoons salt-free garlic seasoning blend
    * 1 small onion, chopped
    * 1 tablespoon Crisco®️ Pure Olive Oil
    * 1 garlic clove, minced
    * 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
    * 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
    * 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    * 3/4 cup uncooked orzo pasta
    * 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    * 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
    * 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
    Directions:
    Sprinkle chicken with garlic seasoning blend. In a large skillet, saute chicken and onion in oil for 5-6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
