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.
