Garlic Chicken with Orzo

Quick and easy recipes. If you want to go vegetarian with this dish it is really easy to do so would add more vegtables if you do. Like chopped zucchani, tomatoes, and squash.

1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
2 cans chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Pinch of fresh basil
Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Bring a large pot of chicken broth to a boil, lightly salted. Add orzo pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the garlic and red pepper 1 minute, until garlic is golden brown. Stir in chicken, season with salt, and cook 2 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned and juices run clear. Reduce heat to medium, and mix in the parsley and cooked orzo. Place spinach in the skillet. Continue cooking 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
