Instructions

Step 1
Slice each chicken breast in half longways to make 4 schnitzels then season with paprika, oregano, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes until just cooked through.
Step 3
Add the butter and garlic to the pan then place the lemon slices around the chicken, cook for a further 2-3 minutes to caramelise. Remove the chicken and caramelised lemon slices from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Using the same pan, add the orzo and toast for 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, cooking cream, dijon mustard and lemon juice. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes uncovered or until the orzo is tender (stir regularly so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan).
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the parmesan cheese and baby spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste, rest for 2-3 minutes for the cheese to melted through.
Step 6
Place the chicken on top of the orzo (optional to slice). Garnish with fresh parsley, chilli flakes and the caramelised lemon slices to serve.
