Greek Lemon Chicken & Orzo

This would've been even nicer with some olives in it.

2 onions, roughly chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 bulb garlic, whole but slice the top off
1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
2 tsp greek seasoning**
2 chicken breasts, cut in thick pieces
1 Knorr chicken stock pot
1 1/4 pt chicken stock made with another Knorr stock pot
4-5 sprigs fresh tarragon, chopped
Orzo (italian pasta) - not sure if you can get this in sainsburys/tesco - I think I got mine from an Italian shop although Waitrose might do it.


1) Heat a pan with some Frylight and add the chicken pieces and cook until golden. Add the onions, carrots and garlic and cook for a few minutes.

2) Add the stock pot and the stock and lemon slices. Cover and simmer for 20 mins.

3) Remove lid and add the orzo - about 2-3 large handfuls. Stir and replace lid. Cook for a further 10 mins. If there is too much stock, take off lid and simmer for a further 5 mins. Remove the garlic bulb and squeeze the garlic into the pan. Add the tarragon and stir.


**To make your own greek seasoning, combine the following:
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic

That sounds so yummy, I think I'll make that on Thursday when my sister & mum come round. I'll be making mine with quorn though as sister is vegetarian.
