I didn’t mean to make two orzo meals back to back but oh well!
This one was pretty good! The seasoning worked well and the chicken was juicy. The only thing that I would change is it said to add 2 cups of water (if I remember, I don’t have the recipe in front of me) to the orzo but I would do less. The water didn’t totally evaporate and was a bit too juicy for my liking. So just be aware if you’re making this too.
Overall, yummy! It even tasted as good the next day for lunch.

I made this last night too. I saw the 2 cups and nearly did 1.5 thinning that was a lot. I know this was supposed to be a 1 pot, but I think the orzo should be made separate while the veggies cook on their own. Felt weird dumping water on spinach.

Got this one too. Thanks for the tip
It was on my list, but I’m def NOT a fan of chicken thighs (and didn’t have an option to swap the protein). Looks good though – prob gonna go for it next time (if it comes around again).
agreed on the water, I did the 2 cups at first but ended up dumping a bunch out before adding the tomato paste and everything, and was happy with the result after that. very tasty!
I agree
I had good results with two cups of water personally. You want to keep the flame just high enough so it’s not boiling but there’s a good simmer to the liquid while the orzo cooks. I was very pleased with the end result!
