INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2
Peel and roughly chop the onion. Clean the bell pepper and cut it into strips. Slice the garlic. Halve the chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper.
3
Heat olive oil in a pan, add the halved thighs and sear them over medium heat for 2–3 minutes on each side. Then remove the thighs from the pan to a plate and set aside.
4
Leave the pan with the drippings on the hob, add the chopped onion and sauté for 1.5 minutes over medium heat. Then add the sliced bell pepper, garlic, canned tomatoes, rosemary, oregano, and thyme to the pan and sauté everything for another 2 minutes. Then pour 500 ml of water into the pan and cook the entire mixture for about 10 minutes over medium heat. Meanwhile, prepare a larger baking dish or casserole dish.
5
After 10 minutes, season the mixture in the pan with salt and pepper, stir in the pasta rice (orzo) and remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish or casserole dish, arrange the seared chicken thighs on top, place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes at 180 °C. After this time, increase the temperature to 220 °C and bake for another 10 minutes.

Tip

*Pasta rice, or orzo, are small pasta made from semolina – so it is not actual rice, although orzo resembles rice in appearance and has similar uses in the kitchen; you can use it as a classic side dish, but also for preparing risottos or pasta salads.
