CHICKEN SCARPARIELLO

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Cut chicken into large chunks and season with salt and pepper and poultry seasoning. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin oil to the hot pan, 1 turn in a slow stream. Set chicken into pan and do not turn for 2 or 3 minutes or you will tear the meat. Brown chicken 3 minutes on each side and then remove all of the chicken to a warm plate. Add bell peppers, hot peppers and garlic to the pan. Saute the peppers and garlic for 5 minutes, tossing and turning them frequently. Add wine to the pan and reduce 1 minute. Scrape up the pan drippings. Add the chicken stock and bring it up to a bubble. Set the chicken back into the pan. Toss the parsley with the chicken and peppers and cook the chicken through, 2 or 3 minutes. Scatter a little hot pepper juice over the pan and serve the Scarpariello over a bed of lemon orzo. WOW!
• Cook orzo in salted water about 12 minutes, to al dente. Drain orzo well. Do not run under cold water. You want the cooked pasta to remain hot. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl. Drizzle orzo with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add lemon zest and parsley and toss to combine the flavors with the pasta.

ONE POT CHICKEN, VEGETABLE & PARMESAN ORZO (RISONI)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Make sure the pan is reasonably deep - around 5cm / 2.5" or more. Otherwise, use a large pot.
• Add garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute.
• Add chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper then cook for 2 minutes until cooked on the outside (raw inside).
• Add frozen vegetables (still frozen ok) and flour, stir until flour is incorporated.
• Add risoni/orzo, stock and milk, then stir well.
• Bring to simmer then adjust heat so it's bubbling gently (see video). Cook for 7 minutes (no lid), stirring every now and then, until risoni is almost tender (still quite soupy at this stage).
• Add parmesan and spinach, stir through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Consistency should be like a loose risotto (it absorbs liquid and thickens quite quickly when serving), nice and creamy.
• Serve, garnished with parsley and more parmesan if desired!
