Ingredients
5 ea spring onion(s)
1 ea red bell pepper(s)
2 ea chicken thigh(s), boneless, skinless
1 g smoked paprika
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp olive oil
200 g orzo
1 ea chicken stock cube(s)
100 g feta
15 g fresh mint

1 - Preheat
Preheat the oven to 210°C, then fill a kettle with water and put it on to boil - we will need this later.

2 - Chop the veg
Remove the roots from 5 spring onions and cut them crossways at 1cm intervals. Deseed 1 pepper
and cut it into bite-sized chunks.

3 - Cut up the meat
Cut 2 chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks.

4 - Assemble
Add the veg and chicken to a baking dish. Add 1 tbsp of paprika, 1 tsp of chilli flakes, 1 tsp of
oregano and ½ tsp of cinnamon. Drizzle over 2 tbsp of the olive oil, season with a generous pinch
of salt and rub everything together. Spread the meat and veg out to 1 even layer. Give your hands
a good wash, then get on with the rest of the dish.

5 - Add the orzo
Sprinkle 200g of orzo over the top of the meat and veg, then crumble over 1 stock cube.

6 - Add the water
Add 500ml of boiling water from the kettle, season with a pinch of salt and give everything a quick
mix.

7 - Cover and bake
Cover tightly with tin foil and bake for 15 minutes, until the orzo is nearly soft. Crack on with a bit of
washing up while you wait.

8 - Bake again
Once the orzo is nearly soft, remove the foil and bake for a further 15 minutes, until all the water
has been absorbed and the orzo is soft but still has a slight bite.

9 - Serve
Give everything a good mix in the tray, crumble over 100g of feta, rip over the leaves from 15g of mint and serve!
