Step 2

Toast the Orzo: In the same skillet, add the dry orzo and stir for 1 minute to lightly toast it.

Step 3

Simmer the Base: Pour in the chicken broth. Add the thawed frozen spinach, chopped artichokes, and cherry tomatoes. Stir everything well

Step 4

Combine and Finish: Nestle the chicken thighs back into the orzo and vegetable mixture. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the orzo is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Fluff the orzo and serve warm.
