Let's cook
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown in 1 tbsp oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes.
Add the orzo and stir 1 minute. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
Cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes, stirring once, until the orzo is tender and the chicken reaches 165°F.
Stir in the spinach, the lemon zest and 2 tbsp lemon juice until the spinach wilts.
