One-Pot Greek Oregano Chicken and Orzo with Tomatoes in Garlic Oil

Absolutely loved this recipe, but I changed a couple things. I didn't have fresh oregano so I used fresh basil and dried oregano, I diced the chicken instead of using whole thighs, and I used tomatoes as well as bell peppers in the orzo. I also think it could use a little more seasoning (I added cumin and crushed chillies)

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. I used less oil as what I read from others, and I used rice instead, and there was way too much. I don't think I make it again

Really good flavor! Chili oil was a little too spicy. Will also double the amount of chicken

Will omit the chili oil next time.

For Slow Carb Diet (Four Hour Body), omit the last 3 ingredients.

I sautéed the tomatos in the Chilli, oil, and garlic! Also just ended cooking everything up together and adding the rice last

I sautéed the tomatoes in the oil, chile, and garlic until they softened and moved them to a bowl. After the orzo and chicken was done, I mixed the tomatoes back in. This way, I didn’t have to use more than one pan, and wasn’t eating cold tomatoes. I also added a little bit of Better Than Bouillon while the orzo was cooking. This was a really good recipe.

As others say, way too much oil. Quantities generally seem to be on the high side, e.g. chilli flakes. Use your own judgement rather than following this blindly. Recipe timings don't add up if you're making the garlic chili oil as per the initial steps.

The tomato and garlic oil was a little too spicy for me, but my wife loved it. I used the feta to kinda cool it down a bit, but I’m not really a fan of feta. If we make this again, I’ll probably cut the red pepper flakes in half. I also hate olives, so I left that out. I did try it without the tomatoes though and it was delicious. Basically, this just wasn’t a recipe for me, but I’ll give it a thumbs up because my wife liked it. 😂

Great meal, took advice from others and added loads of veg (baby corn, spinach, mushrooms and beans). Reduced the oil too. Was a lovely meal and will be doing again for a dinner party next weekend!

This meal was so warming and satisfying. It has a dull heat/spiciness that is just right! Even just the tomatoes with the garlic chili oil was so nice- stealing that for future recipes. Will definitely make it again. Also this recipe makes at least 6 servings (not 4)

7.0/10. Too much oil. Agree with more green peppers and / or spinach might balance things out. Not bad

I found it a bit too oily although I enjoyed it. I'll use less oil next time. I also think it needed a few more vegetables to balance the meat. I'll add green peppers and spinach next time.

My husband & I really liked it! I thought the ratio of orzo to peppers/chicken was too high so the next time I make it I’ll use less pasta. Other that that I really enjoyed it. Added fresh parsley on top too.

1000cal per serving How is that healthy?

The whole family really enjoyed it, even my son who has been a bit picky recently. Would definately have again and will be my lunch for the next couple of days

We’re simps for Mediterranean and grains soaked in chicken fats. So yes, we loved it. We ended up needing way more water to cook the orzo but it turned out fine. Use thighs for more salty goodness and lots of feta!

It’s like rice but pasta which I find quite funny, quite funny indeed. So funny I forgot to take a picture

I couldn’t find orzo so I used quinoa instead and that worked out well. I found the oil dressing for the tomatoes to be too spicy and I ended up burning the pepper flakes. Still liked everything overall.

Added onion to sauté and more spices and put with the tomatoes. Was not able to prepare the tomatoes how it says to in the recipe since I didn’t know from the first page it needs to be set aside for a month before cooking the dish. Still was good but I plan on making it again after preparing the tomatoes correctly.

Big hit. Will definitely make again. Add more salt at each step, for sure. Maybe halve the red pepper flakes in the tomato oil.

Don't over cook them garlic

So good! We are gluten free and couldn’t find any orzo so we just skipped the pasta part of the recipe and it was still good.

I used chicken thighs and doubled up the other ingredients. Turned out perfectly and my family loved it.

Tasted good, straightforward to make. I'll use green olives next time though. Could add a little more paprika. Bought far too many tomatoes for this meal, unless you want 90% tomato salad! Goes very well with a glass of Pinot.

Not a fan of this one. The salad was interesting but not a winner overall.

the claim about it being less than 30 minutes is not really accurate...and read the directions first...but actually a pretty good recipe for chicken.
