Step 1

Season the chicken with salt, paprika, oregano and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium–high heat.

Step 2

Add the chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes or until mostly cooked through, then remove and set aside.

Step 3

Melt the butter in the same pan. Add the onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes, then add garlic and orzo and toast for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chicken stock, lemon zest and juice.

Step 5

Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Stir the chicken back in, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium–low and simmer for 11 minutes or until the orzo is tender, stirring throughout to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Once cooked, add the spinach and cream, and stir until combined.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir through the feta and parmesean until melted.

Step 8

Season to taste, finish with fresh parsley, lemon juice, lemon slices and parmesean.
