Cooking Steps
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.
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.
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.
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!
