Preparation

Step 1

Add the onion to a Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Brown each side until golden, about 3 - 5 minutes per side, using medium heat. Add the red chili flakes and stir.

Add the tomatoes and chicken stock. Stir. Lower the heat to a low simmer. Cover and let cook for 30 minutes. Add the orzo. Stir, then cover and let simmer for 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach leaves. Let the spinach wilt, this will only take about 1 minute. Serve and eat.
