Instructions

1 Marinate chicken

Peel and mince the garlic.
Strip and finely chop the rosemary.
Add the chicken thighs to a bowl.
Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, dried oregano, salt, pepper and half of the lemon juice (reserve the rest of the lemon for serving).
Toss to coat.
Set aside.

Tip! Marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours in advance! Keep half of the rosemary whole and place the whole sprigs on top of the orzo whilst it simmers.

2 Prep

Peel and finely chop the onion.
De-seed and roughly chop the pepper.
Boil the measured water and dissolve the stock cube in it.

3 Fry chicken

Heat a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade.
Discard any excess marinade.
Add the thighs to the pan skin-side down.
Fry for 5 min until browned and crisp.
Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Return the pan to a medium-high heat.

4 Add orzo

Add the onions and peppers to the pan with a pinch of salt.
Fry for 5 min until softened.
Add the smoked paprika.
Fry for 1 min further.
Add the orzo, whole tomatoes and chicken stock.
Bring to a boil.

5 Simmer

Reduce the heat to medium.
Top the orzo with the chicken thighs.
Cover with a lid.
Simmer for 15-20 min until the orzo and chicken are cooked through.

6 Serve

Once the orzo is cooked, top with the olive slices.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon.
Serve the Mediterranean Chicken Thigh Skillet with Orzo garnished with crumbled Feta.
