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

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/Gas Mark 6.
  2. 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.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the orzo, chopped tomatoes, and stock in a bowl.
  4. Remove the dish, push the chicken to one side, and pour the orzo mixture around it. Scatter over the olives.
  5. 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.
  6. Scatter over the feta and season with salt and pepper before serving.
