Ingredients
Scale
1 cup orzo pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon (zested and juiced)
2 cups vegetable broth or water
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Optional: 1 cup spinach or arugula for added greens
Instructions
Marinate the chicken breasts with olive oil, half of the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, bring vegetable broth or water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions (8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
In the pot used for the orzo, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Combine cooked orzo, grilled chicken, and optional greens.
