Ring the Dinner Bell: Chicken with Orzo

Ingredients:

4 lb chicken boneless/skinless thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Greek seasoning
1 c fresh sweet onion
8 oz mini sweet pepper rings
1 c no sodium chicken broth
1 (8-oz) can tomato sauce
1/2 c Tzatziki Ranch Dressing
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 c orzo pasta
3 cups baby spinach

Directions:

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl with oil,  and greek seasonings. Toss the thighs in the mixture to coat (wash hands). Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan over medium heat for 1–2 minutes.

Place chicken in pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Drain any excess juice from your skillet.

Add your sweet onions and peppers to pan and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until vegetables begin to brown. Whisk broth, tomato sauce, dressing, and crushed red pepper in a separate bowl.  Stir mixture into your pan with chicken, onions, and peppers until blended. Bring mixture to boil and cover the chicken mixture. Cook on low heat for 2 hours.

Stir in pasta; cover and cook 30–45 more minutes until pasta is tender and chicken pulls apart easily. Pull apart chicken and then stir in fresh spinach and serve.
