  1. LET’S GET GOING

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Coat in oil, the rub, and seasoning.

  2. ONE DISH TO RULE THEM ALL

    In an ovenproof dish, add the orzo, the sliced red and green pepper, the sliced onion, the grated garlic, the stock, 150ml of boiling water, seasoning, and the cream. Top with the seasoned chicken. Roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes until the orzo is cooked through and the chicken is becoming crispy, shifting halfway.

  3. DON’T LEAF IT OUT

    When the roast is done, remove the dish from the oven. Remove the chicken from the dish and set aside for serving. Add the rinsed spinach to the cooked orzo and mix until fully combined and starting to wilt.

  4. WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!

    Plate up the orzo. Side with the delicious chicken and sprinkle over the chopped chives. Squeeze over some lemon juice (to taste). Well done, Chef!
