I made this tonight with a few changes because I didn't have everything I needed.After cooking the chicken I deglazed the pan with a little red wine. I used a 10 oz can of Rotell diced tomatoes with green chiles and added a small can of tomato sauce. Used frozen brocolli and it was out of this world. I would make this again.

I didn't have spinach, so I used green beans instead. It was a well-received meal by my family and easy to put together. I'll make sure I have spinach next time to give it a try.

Spinach over shadows all. Spinach is my favorite vegetable but this was toooooo much.

This had great flavor and will definitely be a meal I make again! Next time I think I'll add a can of diced tomatoes, drained to give it a bit more tomato flavor, but that's just my preference. Still a great dish the way it is.

This was a great, fast recipe! I cut the chicken into bite-size chunks for our smaller eaters but I think the strips would be better. That way you would really get a sense of the chicken and not having it be hidden in the tomatoes, spinach, and orzo. In addition, I had fresh spinach on hand instead of frozen. I used about 3 cups and that was the right amount, I also cut it finely. I only had regular Mrs. Dash instead of the garlic and I think it worked just fine. I did add the Parmesan cheese but think I might try some Feta next time. I'm also debating on adding some fresh mushrooms next time. What I like about this recipe is it allows the cook to make some changes to suit personal preference. All in all, this was fast, tasty, and healthy!

This was amazing! I used it with fresh spinach so I had to use a huge pan since I doubled the recipe. After cooking I divided into portion sized and froze, each serving is 6 WW points. YUMM!!

This is a decent quick to cook meal with easy ingredients. However I felt it was a bit too much spinach (yes we like spinach) and the Orzo was a bit lost in the mix. Next time I will decrease the spinach to maybe 6oz and up the Orzo to a cup and increase the broth accordingly.

This is a very tasty meal! It was so easy to prepare and I was surprised by how great it tasted. This recipe is nicely flavored and does have a little zip.I also had to add more chicken broth. I will increase this to 1 1/4 cups chicken broth the next time I make it. And there will be a next time.

Easy to make and delicious! Had to add a bit more chicken broth though. Good flavor - ate with some 9 grain bread! Will be making this again!

This was very flavorful and the whole family enjoyed it. I did not have spinach so I subbed broccoli in its place. I used fire roasted tomatoes and I think that it added something to the flavor.

This was delicious! I used a medium sized onion, and used a can of garlic flavored diced tomatoes instead of plain ones. The flavor was great and it was such a colorful dish! Will definitely add to our regular dinner rotation.
