Cooking steps

Boil the Orzo
1
  • Boil a pot of water with the stock 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.
  • Return to the pot and drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent from sticking. Keep uncovered on one side to cool down slightly. 

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

Fry the Chicken
2
  • Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. 
  • Rub the paprika over the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the chicken steaks and cook through, 3-6 mins each side. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Prep the Veg
3
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the olives.
  • Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.
  • In a large bowl for the salad, mix the sun dried tomato paste with a drizzle of oil.
  • Just before serving, toss the dressing with spinach, orzo, olives and tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Dish Up
4
  • Divide the tossed orzo salad between bowls.
  • Serve the paprika-spiced chicken on the side.
