Another yummy recipe as always Margie, we loved it! However I just wanted to check something - I used 75g of Orzo for two portions as this is what it said in the ingredients list. However in your free text at the bottom you say 75g Orzo per person - which is correct? 75g between us was okay but I am always happy to eat more carbs!

Ah thank you so much for flagging this!! A portion of orzo is normally 75g ish. So I need to change that! Thank you! Xxx

The courgettes in this are great They really soak up the chicken juice and go soft and unctious and chickeny 👌

Just recently joined, but this is one of my faves already. This and the crispy/crunch salmon on green butter beans -- so delicious -- cooking both for my family later this week! And what a revelation to stop using skinless/boneless chicken thighs - flavour is so much richer.
