Ingredients

16 oz ground chicken or turkey

37.3 g sun-dried tomatoes chopped

12 oz orzo uncooked

2 tsp better than bouillon

2.75 cups chicken stock

Paprika

Italian seasoning

4 cloves garlic

80 g fresh spinach

215 g cottage cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon, juice

Parmesan

Fresh basil

Directions

In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown and crumble 1 pound of ground chicken.

Once cooked through, add 4 cloves minced garlic, ¾ cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 2 teaspoons paprika, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir to coat and cook for about 2 minutes.

Next, add 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta and 2 ¾ cups broth. Cover and cook for about 12 minutes, or until orzo is cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Once the orzo is cooked through, add 1 can of full fat coconut milk and 2 cups of spinach.

Stir to mix into the dish and cook for about 3-5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.

Remove from heat and serve.
