Ingredients

  • 400 g Chicken thigh fillets
  • 2 tbsp Plain flour
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 4 Cloves of garlic chopped
  • 500 ml Chicken stock
  • 250 ml Double cream
  • 250 g Orzo
  • 2 tbsp Sun-dried tomato paste
  • 2 tsp Oregano
  • 60 g Parmesan grated
  • 20 g Basil torn

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces, then pop it into a bowl and add the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika, then mix it well to coat.
  • Heat some cooking oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Cook the chicken until it’s golden brown all over. Once browned remove it from the pan.
  • Add in the onion and cook until it softens, about 5 minutes.
  • Chuck in the garlic and cook for a further minute before pouring in the chicken stock, and double cream, then add the sun-dried tomato paste, oregano, and orzo.
  • Get the chicken back into the pan and stir it well. Bring to a simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked and the sauce is creamy.
  • Take it off the heat, stir through the parmesan and basil and taste for seasoning. Enjoy!
