Step 1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes, until opaque on the outside. (They don’t need to fully cook at this stage)

Step 4

Add the sundried tomato paste. Stir to coat the contents of the pan.

Step 5

Add the orzo and vegetable stock. Cook, uncovered, for 12-13 minutes, until the pasta is nearly al dente and most of the liquid has been incorporated. Stir often to prevent catching.

Step 6

Add the vegetables, cover, and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until tender. Uncover several times to stir.

Step 7

Turn off the heat. Serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese. (If desired, add fresh basil, red chilli flakes and a squeeze of lemon juice.)
