Ingredients
- 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp sea salt flakes
- 1 Sorrento lemon, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 clove/s garlic, sliced
- 300g orzo
- 200g Tenderstem broccoli
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6; heat a large, ovenproof, lidded frying pan over a medium-low heat. Season the chicken all over with the salt and some freshly ground black pepper, then put in the pan, skin-side down. Slowly cook for 15-20 minutes, until the skin crisps up and turns golden brown. Transfer with tongs to a plate, skin-side up.
Add the lemon slices, onion and garlic to the pan and mix well to combine. Sauté for 5 minutes, then add the orzo and mix well again; cook for 2 minutes.
Bring a kettle to the boil. Return the chicken thighs to the pan, tucking them in between the orzo and vegetables. Pour over 450ml just-boiled water, cover and transfer to the oven for 35 minutes. Scatter over the broccoli and cook for a further 10 minutes, covered, until the broccoli is just tender and the chicken is cooked through, with no pink meat remaining and the juices run clear.
