Instructions

Cook the Orzo
1
  • Boil a pot of salted water for the orzo.
  • Add the orzo and muscat to the boiling water then 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.

Fry the Chicken
2
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the chicken with half the dried thyme (double for 4p), salt and pepper.
  • Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. 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 vacuum packing we use to keep it fresh.

Get Prepped
3
  • Meanwhile, chop the tomato into 2cm chunks.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
  • In a large bowl for the salad, mix the sweet chilli sauce with half the parsley and a drizzle of oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Fluff up the orzo with a fork and toss with the tomato, chickpeas and sweet chilli dressing.
Finish and Serve
4
  • Divide the orzo between bowls or plates.
  • Crumble the blue cheese over. 
  • Top with the golden chicken.
  • Garnish with the remaining parsley.

TIP: If you're not a fan of blue cheese this dish will still be delicious without!
