Directions:Preheat oven to 400°. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken. Sear on both sides until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet to a plate. To the same skillet, add the butter and shallot, cooking until fragrant about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and orzo, cooking until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze the pan. Add 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil, cook 3 to 5 minutes, then add the cream, mustard, Parmesan, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring until the spinach is wilted. Slide the chicken and any juices left on the plate back into the skillet. Transfer to the oven and cook, uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken, topped with lemon juice and rosemary, if desired. Serves 4. |
