This is one of my favorite meals to make especially in the summer months on those hot summer days. This is a one pan meal and is really simple to make. You will need the following ingredients:
Recipe:
1 – 2 pounds of boneless chicken breast
1/4 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 cup of oil
14.5 oz can of chicken broth
1 cup of water
8 oz of orzo
2 cups of spinach
1/4 cup of onion
2 lemons
5 leaves of fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
Garnish: Lemon wedges, grated parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes

Add the oil to the pan. When the oil gets hot add the chicken cutlets and cook 8 – 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Cook time will depend on the thickness of your chicken cutlets.
