Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, and season it with ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a large, high-sided, cast-iron skillet (or any ovenproof skillet) over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering.
- Next, add the chicken skin side down in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until the skin is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the shallots and butter, cook stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes.
- After that, add orzo, garlic, Italian herbs, dried basil, the remaining salt, and capers. Cook, stirring often, until the orzo is lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the wine and using a wooden spoon scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Fold in the spinach and add the cream, stir until the spinach is wilted.
- Return the chicken to the pan skin side up, and transfer the uncovered skillet into the oven. Bake, until chicken is cooked through and orzo is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Top with crumbled feta, lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh parsley.
