Chicken Artichoke Orzo
Ingredients
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 ounces pancetta bacon, diced
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
  • 1 (10 ounce) can artichoke hearts (water-packed), quartered
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 (16 ounce) package orzo pasta
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
  • 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Introduce the pancetta, allowing it to brown before transferring it to paper towels.
2
Next, pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the skillet and add the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook while stirring occasionally until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Boost the heat to medium-high, then add white wine; cook for approximately 3 minutes.
3
Subsequently, lower the heat to low and combine the chicken, artichoke hearts, and spinach in the skillet. Cover it and cook until everything is warm through.
4
In a separate pot, bring a salted water solution to a boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook until it reaches the al dente stage, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and then combine it with the chicken mixture.

Finally, stir pine nuts and balsamic vinegar into the pasta to complete the dish
