• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
• Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2/3 cup uncooked orzo

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a 4-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until lightly browned; transfer to a bowl until needed.
Reduce heat to medium, add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions soften, about 5 minutes. Add coriander and cinnamon, stir about 1 minute. Add broth, bring to a boil then stir in orzo and cook until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add chicken and accumulated juices and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
Divide spinach evenly between six bowls. Ladle hot soup over spinach, garnish with Parmesan cheese and a lemon wedge. Serve immediately. Serves 6.
