Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Season both sides of chicken breasts with herbs and salt.

2

Heat olive oil and butter in a deep dish cast iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer, and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and keep warm.

3

Add garlic to the same skillet. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add orzo and stir to coat with oil.

Move chicken to the side, and add in the spinach. Stir until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
