Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Portobello mushrooms sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups dried orzo
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (700mL) jar tomato/spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

Chicken Parmesan

  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, coat each chicken breast in flour, then in egg, then in breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then place in skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • When breading becomes a bit more solid, continue to fry chicken in the middle of the pan and add garlic and mushrooms around, sautéing for about 5 min.
  • Add orzo, water and tomato sauce, then bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium, then cover skillet with well-fitting lid and let simmer for about 12-15 min, checking and stirring often until orzo and chicken is completely cooked through.
  • Remove lid and add cheese to the tops of each chicken breast. Stir in spinach and cover with lid again, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
