Chicken with Orzo

1 cup uncooked orzo pasta

 2 tablespoons olive oil

 2 cloves garlic

 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces

salt to taste

 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

 2 cups fresh spinach leaves

 grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add orzo pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the garlic and red pepper 1 minute, until garlic is golden brown. Stir in chicken, season with salt, and cook 2 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned and juices run clear. Reduce heat to medium, and mix in the parsley and cooked orzo. Place spinach in the skillet. Continue cooking 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
