Recipe: ANOTHER Orzo Chicken Dish

The spinach looks quite wilted, but it still tastes good!

This was another Instagram recipe I found online, this time from Neill, the "in vs. out" nutritionist. Again, very easy to make since you just put everything together in a casserole dish and mix!

Ingredients:

▪️200g orzo - 1.5 cups

▪️500g raw chicken - I did three large chicken thighs

▪️300ml chicken stock - 10 fl. oz

▪️1 diced red pepper

▪️190g reduced fat red pesto - I used green pesto from Aldi

▪️1 handful chopped spinach

▪️1 diced onion

▪️100g sundried tomatoes

▪️200g light Philadelphia cream cheese - 7 ounces (I used a full brick; why leave over 1 ounce?)

▪️Salt - pepper - paprika - oregano

Directions

  1. Mix all of the ingredients in a 13x9" casserole dish. 
  2. Cover and bake for 45 mins at 350˚ F. 

Seriously, that's it! I tried to do the conversions for you to make it easier. I didn't have everything (I had two tiny peppers that I used, and I used regular cream cheese), and I probably could have used a second jar of pesto. But even then, I was really happy with how this dish came out, and even happier about how easy it was to make! You really can't beat it!

(I think this recipe is better than the previous orzo chicken dish I made, but that's probably because of all the cream cheese!)
