Cooking Steps

1

Boil a large pot of salted water for the orzo. TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
When boiling, add the orzo to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until softened, 10-12 mins. Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.

2

Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and paprika to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

3

Roughly chop the olives and tomatoes. Once everything is ready, toss the orzo with olives, chicken, tomatoes and sweet chilli sauce. Season to tast with salt and pepper. Toss the salad leaves with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. 

4

Divide the orzo and chicken between bowls. Crumble over the blue cheese and serve the salad leaves by the side.
