Ingredients
  

  • 750 g chicken breasts
  • olive oil for the marinade
  • 20 g butter for frying
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsps honey
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • tsp harissa powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • butter for frying
  • 1 big onion
  • 100 g orzo
  • 600 ml chicken broth
  • 100 ml whipping cream
  • a handful of baby spinach
  • 90 g parmesan cheese
  • parsley to garnish
  • ½ tsp ginger powder

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces. Marinate them in olive oil, and season with salt, ginger powder, harissa, oregano and black pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Heat up butter on the pan and sprinkle with chilli flakes. Put pieces of chicken in butter and fry on both sides until brownish on medium-low heat. When the chicken gets brown on both sides, cover with honey and fry until golden on medium-low heat.
  • Take the chicken out of the pan. If the honey is not burnt on the pan, add butter, and chopped onion and fry for 1 minute. If the honey is burnt on the pan, wash it and continue cooking.
  • Add washed orzo and fry for a minute. Add chicken broth, and ginger powder, and cook until it's soft (follow the instructions on the packaging - 10 minutes). Cover the pan and stir every minute so it doesn't get burnt.
  • Pour whipping cream and spinach. Give it a good stir. Put pieces of chicken on top of the orzo, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes on low heat.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley.
