Creamy Lemon Chicken Orzo

Step 1

In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. When it's hot, carefully add the chicken pieces. Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally until all sides are starting to colour.

Step 2

Reduce the heat and add the garlic and oregano. Stir for 3-5 minutes until the garlic is softened.

Step 3

Add the orzo, stock, lemon zest and plenty of pepper, give everything a good stir and put the lid on.

Step 4

Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until both the chicken and orzo are cooked through, stirring occasionally. (If the mixture becomes too dry before the orzo or chicken is cooked, add a splash of water.)

Step 5

Turn the heat to the lowest setting add the cream, spinach and lemon juice - continue to stir very well for 1-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the cream is heated through.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and stir in the parmesan.
