Cooking steps

Prep the Veg
1
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Trim the leek, then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways.
  • Trim the carrot and chop into 2cm chunks.
Cook the Orzo
2
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry off the onion, leek and carrot for 4-5 mins, until soft. Pop in the orzo, stock, ½ tsp salt (per 2P) and 400ml water (per 2P).
  • Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is tender, 15-20 mins. Stir every 3-4 mins to prevent sticking.
  • Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Stir through the pesto and taste with salt and pepper if required. 
Crumb and Fry the Chicken
3
  • In a bowl, mix half the Italian herbs (per 2P), breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and oil.
  • Slice through the breasts to make thin steaks. Coat with half the aioli and then with the breadcrumbs, until completetely coated.
  • Place a pan over high heat and add enough oil to cover the base.
  • Add the chicken to the pan, reduce the heat to medium-high and fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins.
  • Turn every 2-3 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Divide and serve
4
  • Serve the orzo between plates and serve the crumbed chicken alongside.

  • Scatter over the cheese.
