Spinach and Orzo image

This is my take on a risotto type dish. I don't like cheese so I came up with this recipe. It's a favorite around our house!

Time 25m

Yield 1/2 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups chicken broth (I mix up Herb Ox Chicken with water)
1 cup orzo pasta
1/2 a 10 ounce bag spinach leaves, heavy stems removed, torn
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion powder

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring butter, granulated onion powder and chicken broth to a boil. Add orzo and turn the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Add the torn spinach leaves and continue cooking and stirring about 5 minutes more or until almost all the liquid is gone. Goes great with baked chicken.
