Serves: 4 | Time: 25 minutes | Serving Size: ~1¾ cups

Ingredients

• 1 jar Savory Spoon Tomato Basil

• 2 cups orzo

• 2 chicken breasts, diced

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 2 cups fresh spinach

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Fresh basil, chopped (for serving)

• Grated parmesan (for serving)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Brown the chicken
   Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned on all sides.

2. Add aromatics
   Stir in garlic and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant and the tomatoes begin to soften.

3. Toast the orzo
   Add orzo to the pan and toast for 1 minute, stirring to coat it in the pan juices.

4. Add sauce and broth
   Pour in the broth and the jar of Savory Spoon Tomato Basil sauce. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Simmer
   Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and the mixture is creamy. Add a splash of extra broth if needed.

6. Finish with greens
   Stir in spinach and cook 1–2 minutes until just wilted.

7. Serve
   Top with fresh basil and grated parmesan. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
