Step 1
Boil orzo in salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Pat chicken dry, season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 4
Sear chicken 3 minutes per side without moving—edges should look opaque.
Step 5
Add broth, sun-dried tomatoes with oil, and lemon zest to the skillet. Return cooked orzo and stir.
Step 6
Wilt spinach 30 seconds, then squeeze lemon juice over top. Top with feta and serve immediately.
