Garlic Chicken With Orzo Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Add orzo pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente, drain.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the garlic and red pepper 1 minute, until garlic is golden brown, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in chicken, season with salt, and cook 2 to 5 minutes, or until lightly brown.
Reduce heat to medium, and mix in the parsley and cooked orzo.
Add spinach to the skillet. Continue cooking 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts.
Remove from heat.
Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
