Lemon Orzo Chicken Pasta

Description

Light and simple. Orzo pasta with lemon juice, chicken, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and spinach. I typically use a rotisserie chicken, since they are typically packed with great flavor already.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked orzo pasta
  • 2 cooked and shredded chicken breasts
  • 1 (8 ounce) ball mozzarella cheese, diced
  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 (.6 ounce) package fresh basil, cut into ribbons
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
