Instructions
- Do not rinse the chicken. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Wash the cutting board, knife, and hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- Pat the chicken dry and season it with half the salt and the pepper. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat, add the chicken, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until the pieces are lightly browned and reach 165°F (74°C). Transfer the chicken to a clean plate.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the remaining salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Add the broth, tomatoes, and orzo. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender with a firm center and the broth is slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the pot and add the spinach. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is hot and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
