Method

Make it happen

  1. 01

    Heat the olive oil in a wide, deep pan. Soften the onion for 5 minutes, then add the garlic.

  2. 02

    Brown the diced chicken for 5 minutes before adding the vegetables; make sure it reaches 75°C by the end.

  3. 03

    Stir in the dry orzo and pour in the listed stock and any tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

  4. 04

    Cook for 12–16 minutes until the orzo is tender, adding small splashes of water if it becomes dry. Add delicate greens, peas or prawns towards the end as directed.

  5. 05

    Check any poultry, pork or seafood is cooked through. Season, add the finishing ingredients and serve while creamy.
