1 pack/s No.1 British Free Range 2 Chicken Breast Fillets, diced
300g pack No.1 Red Choice Vine Tomatoes, quartered
4 sprig/s thyme
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp olive oil
120g pack baby spinach
500ml chicken stock, warmed
250g orzo
125g No.1 Odysea Greek Sheep’s Milk Feta PDO, crumbled

Preheat the oven to 190ºC, gas mark 5. Cut the chicken into bitesized chunks and quarter the tomatoes. Mix with the thyme and paprika in a 2L ovenproof dish. Drizzle over the oil, season, then toss together and roast for 10 minutes.
Stir in the spinach and stock, then mix until the spinach wilts. Stir in the orzo and scatter over the feta.
Bake for 25 minutes, until the pasta is tender and the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat and the juices run clear.

Cook’s tip

Blitz leftover feta with natural yogurt as a dip, scatter it into almost any salad or cut into small cubes and gently mingle with No.1 Nocellara Olives, good olive oil, Turkish pepper flakes and a twist of orange zest for a quick nibble.
