Ingredients

6 skin-on chicken thighs
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
1 ½ cup orzo
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
¼ cup sun dried tomatoes julienned
2 garlic cloves minced
2 cups chicken broth
¾ cup Parmesan
¼ cup heavy cream or coconut milk
1 cup spinach chopped
1 lemon cut into wedges
3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Season your chicken thighs on both sides with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper.
In a large braising pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil to the pan and sear the thighs on both sides (for 5-8 minutes on each side). Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
Don’t clean the pan, add the orzo, halved cherry tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic. Saute for a minute or two and then deglaze the pan with chicken broth.
Turn the heat off. Stir in the parmesan cheese and heavy cream.
Fold in the chopped spinach and return the chicken thighs to the pan.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Top with lemon wedges and chopped parsley before serving.
