Cooking steps

Raost the Carrot
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
  • Pop the carrots onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with dried thyme, oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
Boil the Orzo
2
  • Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water for the orzo.
  • 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.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Bake the Chicken
3
  • Bash or roughly chop the hazelnuts
  • Lay the chicken onto a lined baking tray. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread half the blueberry jam over the chicken and cover with the hazelnuts, pressing gently so they adhere.
  • Roast the chicken on the top shelf until cooked through, 20-25 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Prep the Pear
4
  • Quarter the pear lengthways (no need to peel).
  • Remove the core and chop into 2cm chunks.
Toss the Salad
5
  • Once everything is ready, toss the orzo with salad leaves, cheese, pears, mayo, remaining blueberry jam and a drizzle of oil.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Dish Up
6
  • Divide the orzo salad between plates.
  • Serve the chicken alongside.
