Cut chicken or pound into thin cutlets about ¼” thick. Transfer to a resealable bag or container.

Cook the orzo according to the instructions in “Make From Fresh” Steps 4-5

Chop the onions and garlic and transfer to a resealable bag or container.

Cut, pounded chicken will store for up to 4 days in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer. Cooked orzo and cut onions and garlic will store for up to one week in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer.

Follow the instructions in Steps 2 to 3 to cook the chicken, and set aside.

Heat the orzo gently over medium heat with half a cup of water, stirring often, until the water has dissolved.

Add to the orzo the salt and pepper, parmesan cheese, and spinach. Remove from heat and stir until the spinach is wilted.

Cook the sauce according to the instructions in Steps 6-9, cooking the onions and garlic at the same time and stirring often to not let the garlic burn.

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Alternatively, pound the chicken into thin cutlets.

In a large bowl, combine the flour with salt and pepper. Add the cut chicken pieces and toss to coat.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces in an even layer and cook, turning once or twice until browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pan once browned, and set aside. Do not wipe the pan.

Fill a medium pot with water halfway, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a boil.

Add the orzo and cook, testing occasionally for doneness, about 5-8 minutes. The orzo is done when completely soft all the way through, but still retains a bit of chewy bite.

Drain orzo and then return to the pot.

Remove the pot from heat and add in parmesan, then season with salt and pepper.

Stir the orzo to thoroughly combine the parmesan, then add the fresh spinach.

Toss the spinach with the cheesy orzo until spinach has softened and wilted, then set aside until service.

After the chicken has cooked and has been removed from the pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

While the oil is heating, thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.

Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring often, 5-8 minutes until they have started to soften. Add the garlic and stir to combine.

Add the chicken broth to the pan, deglazing the onions, and use a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Add the lemon juice, zest, and capers, and stir to combine. Let the sauce come to a simmer, then add the chicken back to the pan.

Cook until the chicken is heated through and fully cooked, about 3-5 minutes, then serve with the orzo.
