Instructions

1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 0.5 tsp salt for the orzo.

When boiling, add the orzo to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 10 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

2

While the orzo cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the diced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

Cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. Turn occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. 

3

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Once the chicken is cooked, add the garlic and gochujang paste. Stir-fry for a further 30 secs. 

Stir in the chicken stock paste and water (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil, then lower the heat.

Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

4

Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the creme fraiche and Italian style cheese. 

Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. Season with salt and pepper then remove from the heat. 

5

Stir the cooked orzo into the sauce so that it is nicely coated. 

 

6

Share the creamy gochujang chicken orzo out between your serving bowls and tuck in. 

Enjoy!
