Ingredients
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 250g orzo pasta
- 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 500ml chicken stock
- 50g black olives
- 50g feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/Gas Mark 6.
- Toss the chicken thighs with half the olive oil, oregano, and garlic. Place skin-side up in a large baking dish and roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the orzo, chopped tomatoes, and stock in a bowl.
- Remove the dish, push the chicken to one side, and pour the orzo mixture around it. Scatter over the olives.
- Return to the oven and bake for a further 20-25 minutes, until the orzo has absorbed the liquid and the chicken is cooked through.
- Scatter over the feta and season with salt and pepper before serving.
