Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1½ cups orzo
- 1 cup white wine
- 2½ cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 400 g (14oz) artichokes drained and halved
- 1 cup grated cheese
- ½ cup cream
Instructions
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet or pan (I like using a saute pan for this recipe), place the chicken thighs, skin-side down.
- Place the pan over medium-high heat and allow the chicken to brown for 8-10 minutes, checking regularly, then flip over. Cook the chicken for another 5 minutes on the other side then remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the onion, garlic and herbs and cook for a minute then pour in the white wine.
- Allow the wine to reduce while scraping the bottom of the pan to release all the golden bits.
- Add the orzo and chicken stock then stir in the cream and artichokes. Place the chicken back on top of the orzo.
- Place the pan in a hot oven, preheated to 200°C/390°F and allow to bake for 10-15 minutes until the orzo and chicken thighs are cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the orzo then stir in the cheese.
- Adjust seasoning if necessary then serve the orzo with the chicken.
