Orzo pasta is rice shaped pasta, and is incredibly versatile and quick to cook. You can use orzo to make a sort of cheats risotto, without having to stand over it for ages, constantly stirring. You don't have to have the chicken with this dish, it's great on it's own, or served with some nice meaty white fish, or even grilled pork chops.

Ingredients:

• 250g orzo pasta

• 2 shallots or 1 small onion finely diced

• 1 lemon

• 1 garlic clove chopped

• 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

• About half a medium sized chilli

• 2 chicken breasts

• 50-100g parmesan cheese (use more or less depending how much you like)

• 4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for cooking

• Salt & pepper
