Orzo Pasta and Chicken

Pasta and chicken, could there be anything simpler? I just felt like eating a hearty Italian meal tonight, which started with the pasta : ) I kind of threw the rest of it together, and it turned out delicious.

 Recipe:

1/3 C Orzo Pasta
2 TB Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Garlic Salt
3 TB Parmesan Cheese

1 Chicken Breast, Cooked and Sliced

1 Medium Onion, Minced
1/2 C Chicken Broth
2 TB White Wine Vinegar
1/2 C Kale
1/2 C Broccoli Florets
1/2 Tomato, Diced

-Cook orzo until water is cooked off and the pasta is tender.
-Remove from heat and add olive oil, spices, and cheese. Set aside.
-Heat chicken broth in a frying pan, add onion, and saute.
-Add vinegar, vegetables, chicken, and cooked orzo.
-Cook another 10-15 minutes, or until excess water cooks off.
