Instructions
Step 1
Season chicken all over with 1 teaspoon of the salt, the pepper, the garlic and the onion powder.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until the chicken is lightly browned, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Step 3
Add butter to the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium. Once the butter has melted, add shallots and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about one more minute.
Step 4
Add the white wine and bring to a simmer, cook, stirring, until wine has reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add in the orzo, and the Bonafide Provisions Chicken Broth along with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Return the chicken and any collected juices to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the spinach, peas, parm and lemon. Cook for 5 more mins.
