Being a foreigner living in the UK isn't always glamorous... a lot of the time, it's actually the opposite lol but honestly? I LOVE a quiet, boring life - join me for a realistic day in the life of someone who lives in England (and loves being in her house lol)

you GOTTA make this chicken tray bake - it's my favourite:
Ingredients
- 5 spring onions
- 1 red bell pepper
- chicken thigh, boneless
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200g orzo
- 1 chicken stock cube
- feta
- fresh basil
1. Preheat oven to 210C. Fill the kettle with water
2. Cut spring onions into 1cm chunks. Cut pepper and chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces
3. Add the veg & chicken to a baking dish. Add 1 tbsp of paprika, 1 tsp chilli flakes, 1 tsp of oregano
4. Drizzle 2 tbsp of oil, season with salt and rub everything together. Spread the meat and veg into 1 even layer
5. Sprinkle 200g of orzo over the top. Crumble over 1 stock cube
6. Add 500ml of boiling water from the kettle, season with a pinch of salt and give everything a quick mix (we add a lot more chicken so I end up using about 300ml of water instead)
7. Cover tightly with tin foil and bake for 15 mins
8. Once the orzo is nearly soft, remove the foil and bake for a further 15 mins
9. Give everything a good mix, crumble over feta and add basil leaves

Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a Youtube video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on Patreon + YT Memberships. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.
