Serves 4
1 cup risoni (orzo)
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
500g chicken breast, diced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 brown onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup kalamata olives
1 x 400g can cherry tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock/broth
2-3 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup crumbly feta cheese
Sprinkle salt and pepper
Season the chicken with smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper. In a large saucepan add half the olive oil and sear the chicken until brown on all sides, remove from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining olive oil, onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the olives, risoni, cherry tomatoes and stock, mix well to combine and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the baby spinach, parmesan cheese and stir through. Add the chicken back into the pan, mix well and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat, serve with crumbly feta cheese on top and enjoy!
