"A classic greek dish for connoisseurs - our favorite chicken with orzo noodles"

Ingredients

  • orzo noodles - 9 oz (250 g)
  • onion - 1 small onion
  • tomatoes - 1.1 lb (500 g) canned, peeled and diced

measures

How to make

Cut the chicken into pieces. Clean the onion and cut it into small pieces. Heat the olive oil in a deep pan. Fry the chicken, until it turns white.

Add the onion and cook, by stirring occasionally. Add the tomato puree and stir.

Add the tomatoes and season with salt and black pepper.

Don't add too much salt, since the Parmesan is salty enough. Reduce the heat and leave the dish to boil over low heat for about 15 minutes.

Add the orzo noodles and some of the parmesan and stir. If a lot of the liquid has evaporated, add a little water or chicken broth.

Pour the dish into a baking pan and bake in a preheated oven at 360°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes.

Towards the end of cooking, sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan.

Serve the casserole sprinkled with chopped parsley.

The Greek Chicken and Orzo Casserole is very tasty.
