Ingredients

  • 418g Essential British Diced Chicken Breast
  • 300g pack No.1 Red Choice Vine Tomatoes, quartered
  • 4 sprig/s fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp Essential Olive Oil
  • 120g baby spinach
  • 500ml chicken stock, warmed
  • 250g orzo
  • 125g essential Waitrose feta

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC, gas mark 5. Place the chicken, tomatoes, thyme and paprika in a 2L ovenproof dish. Drizzle over the oil, season, then toss together and roast for 10 minutes.

  2. Stir in the spinach and stock, mixing until the spinach wilts. Stir in the orzo and scatter over the feta.

  3. Bake for 25 minutes, until the pasta is tender and the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat and juices that run clear.

Cook’s tip

For a veggie alternative, roast chunks of squash with oil and seasoning for 15 minutes, before adding the tomatoes, thyme and paprika. Follow as above, roasting for 10 minutes, using veg stock, and adding a handful of chopped nuts or pine nuts to the top towards the end of cooking.
