Chicken and artichoke orzotto recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
A riff on risotto, this simple supper uses orzo – an easy-to-cook pasta – and sweet cherry tomatoes. We've used ready-roasted chicken to keep things speedy and added artichokes for a little tang. This is a lovely comforting yet healthy midweek meal that's on the table in 15 minutes!

Method
- Bring the stock to the boil in a saucepan. Add the orzo and simmer over a medium heat for 8-9 mins, stirring frequently, until tender. There should still be a little liquid left in the pan.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil from the artichoke jar in a saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion and tomatoes for 6-8 mins until beginning to soften. Add the garlic, chicken and artichokes and cook for another 2 mins to heat through.
- Stir the chicken and artichoke mix into the orzo along with the lemon zest and juice and most of the parsley. Season with black pepper, then divide between bowls and scatter with the remaining parsley to serve.
