"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
2/5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium shallot, chopped
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 cup dry orzo pasta
1/3 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc

Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Rub the chicken with 1 tbsp 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 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet

3. To the same skillet, add the butter and shallot, cooking until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and orzo, cooking until lightly golden, 2-3 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze the pan. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cook 3-5 minutes, then add the cream, mustard, parmesan, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring until the spinach has wilted. Slide the chicken and any juices left on the plate back into the skillet. Transfer to the oven and cook, uncovered for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

4. Serve the chicken topped with lemon juice and rosemary, if desired.
