How to cook it
-
Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and oregano.
-
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side, then remove and slice it.
-
Add the remaining oil and soften the onion and garlic, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the orzo to toast for 1 minute, then pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
-
Cover and cook until the orzo is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Fold in the spinach until wilted, then stir in the lemon juice and dill.
-
Return the sliced chicken to the pan and serve.
