🇬🇷 Greek Chicken and Orzo One-Pot

Greek Chicken and Orzo One-Pot is the kind of dinner that feels generous without creating a mountain of washing up. Golden chicken thighs cook over tender tomato orzo with spinach, lemon and feta, while Greek Seasoning fills the pan with fragrant Mediterranean herbs. It is comforting, colourful and perfect for a relaxed family supper.

⏱️ Prep & Cook Time

• Prep time: 15 minutes
• Cook time: 35–40 minutes
• Serves: 4

🧾 Ingredients

• 6 boneless chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp Greek Seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 250g orzo
• 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• 600ml hot chicken stock
• 150g baby spinach
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 80g feta, crumbled
• Black pepper, to taste

🍳 Instructions

1. Pat the chicken dry and rub with 1 tbsp Greek Seasoning and black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wide lidded pan and brown the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate.
2. Add the remaining oil and onion to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic and remaining Greek Seasoning for 30 seconds.
3. Add the orzo, tomatoes and stock. Stir well, return the chicken to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring the orzo once or twice so it does not catch. Remove the lid and cook for another 5–8 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the orzo is tender.
5. Stir the spinach through the orzo until wilted. Finish with lemon juice and crumbled feta.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve straight from the pan with a green salad.
• Add olives or roasted red peppers with the tomatoes.
• Loosen leftovers with a splash of stock when reheating.

💛 Why This Recipe Works

• Browning the chicken first builds savoury flavour.
• The orzo absorbs the seasoned tomato stock as it cooks.
• Spinach, lemon and feta keep the finished dish fresh and balanced.

🌿 Spice & Dipity Tip

Stir gently from the bottom of the pan during cooking, as orzo can settle and stick.
