Calories: 425kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/2 rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed (350 grams)
  • 1 cup whole wheat orzo
  • 1 1/4 cups light coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 cup no salt added chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (I used Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 12 oz rainbow cherry tomatoes, halved (340 grams)
  • 8 oz sliced Baby Bella mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced and divided
  • 1/2 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese OR 1 tbsp nutritional yeast for dairy-free

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss halved tomatoes with olive oil and half of the garlic.  Arrange in a single layer on lined baking sheet.  Bake for 20 minutes and set aside.
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.  Add ghee and melt, then add onion and garlic.  Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes.
  • Add coconut milk, chicken stock, wine, and Oh My Spice seasoning.  Cover and bring to a boil, then add orzo, salt and pepper.  Stir until orzo is covered, then lower heat to a simmer for 7 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat and stir in chicken, spinach, roasted tomatoes, basil, and parmesan cheese.  Cover and allow to rest for about 5 minutes or until chicken is heated through, orzo is cooked al dente, and spinach is wilted.
  • Serve with fresh lemon zest, basil, and more parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • I left the parmesan cheese as optional in case you need to make it dairy-free using nutritional yeast.  For macro-tracking purposes, the cheese is not included in the nutrition info.
