LEMON ORZO CHICKEN PASTA
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.

- Combine chicken, mozzarella cheese, spinach, basil, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper with orzo pasta.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to let flavors mingle, 20 to 30 minutes.
