Directions
- 1Take some cleaned bone-in chicken thighs, season it with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Creole seasoning, and Italian seasoning. Give it a mix and let it marinate.
- 2Dice up half an onion and freshly minced garlic.
- 3In a pan over medium-high heat, sear the chicken on both sides. Remove and allow the chicken to finish in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes.
- 4Deglaze the bottom of the pan with white wine and add in garlic and onions, along with sun-dried tomatoes.
- 5Melt down 1 tablespoon of butter and season again with the same ingredients used for the chicken.
- 6Add in 2 cups of orzo, mix it around to soak up the flavor, and add in 4 cups of chicken stock.
- 7Let that cook until the orzo is al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Add in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, a boatload of spinach, lemon juice and parsley.
- 8Cut up the chicken and add it on top. Top it off with more Parmesan cheese.
