I've been working my way through dinner tonight recipes and this is one I keep coming back too. Absolute standout. It comes together magically and my family finds it addictive (I think it's the Parmesan rind). Thanks so much for sharing!

Made this for supper with a friend. She loved it and asked for the recipe. Have made it lots since. Easy to make, as it's one pot. Looks like you've made an effort 😁

Lovely recipe - but way too much for 2 people. Would feed x4 people easily. Very tasty.

A little too heavy on the lemon for me. I’d make it again but substitute some lemon juice with chicken broth.

My friend doesn't eat meat - what replacement could I use?

Ooh - the creamy leek orzo is still really good without the pancetta. You could fry some mushrooms in butter and garlic and top the orzo with the mushrooms at the end. Or you could use salmon if your friend eats fish. It will need less cooking time - I have a really delicious salmon and orzo recipe on here which might be good for this! I would say that this recipe is largely built around the chicken, not to say it cant work without it but maybe something like my whole roasted cauliflower with tahini and chimichurri could be a great one! x

Fab thanks. Will try salmon as there are 10 of us having dinner and only one veggie. Will report back. Thank you for sharing so many delicious recipes that are so reliably good, every one I've made has been excellent 🥰

I made this last night and it was delicious and very easy. I swapped out 70gms of orzo and added a ton of cannellini beans. So good 👍
