Marry Me Chickpeas and Orzo

This one-pot dish is inspired by the famous “Marry Me” chicken recipe. But instead of chicken, we have delicious chickpeas that absorb all the flavors of the creamy garlic sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and spinach. Perfect for a cozy dinner with a vegetarian twist, and it’s ready in just 30 minutes. Trust us, this is a meal you’ll want to say “I do” to every week!
