Ingredients
wide ovenproof pan, knife, oven
Method

Heat the oven to 200C. Dice the onion, finely chop the garlic, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, and boil a kettle.

Warm a wide ovenproof pan over a medium-high heat, add the chicken, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until lightly golden on the outside, then lift it onto a plate.

Add the onion to the same pan and cook for 4 minutes until starting to soften, then stir in the garlic and smoked paprika for 1 minute.

Stir in the orzo, passata, chicken stock, and browned chicken, scraping the base of the pan, then bring to a steady simmer.

Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 12 minutes until the orzo is nearly tender and the sauce is still a little loose.

Stir in the spinach and a squeeze of lemon, scatter over the cheddar, then bake uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes until bubbling, golden, and the chicken is piping hot.
