Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Season chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper on both sides and add to the hot skillet. Sear chicken cutlets 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
-
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2-3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
-
Add orzo and stir well to coat the orzo with the olive oil from the skillet.
-
Carefully add wine to deglaze the skillet. Continue cooking 2-3 minutes or until the wine reduces by half.
-
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a steady simmer. Cover with a lid and cook until the orzo is al dente.
-
Add spinach and continue 1-2 minutes or until the spinach wilts.
-
Add in the lemon juice, heavy cream, and butter; stir well until the orzo becomes very creamy.
-
Place the chicken breasts and any accumulated juices on top of the orzo and cover the pan with a lid. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes or until the chicken and juices are completely cooked through.

Uncover and sprinkle with fresh parsley and crumbled feta. Enjoy!
