you GOTTA make this chicken tray bake - it's my favourite:
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
