I have wanted to try this recipe but was not sure how it would go over.
The tomatoes and spinach are not favorites of the kiddos but I thought I would give it a whirl.
I am so glad that I did try it for it turned out to be a hit.
Well, perhaps not so much with the tomatoes (there was a pile left on one plate).
This is one flavorful, filling chicken dish that can be made quickly.
All the ingredients are set and ready to go.
Just cook them all until the orzo is done and dinner is served!
