Yoghurt-Baked Chicken Thighs with Orzo, Oregano & Feta

Notes
2 hr cook
The yoghurt in this marinade gives the chicken just enough pep, but also keeps the chicken thighs extra juicy as they cook. Plus you’ll have a delicious sauce at the end, with which to dress the jumble of orzo, peppers, onions and tomatoes. It couldn’t be any simpler as a midweek recipe – just add herbs and squeeze over plenty of those roasted and gorgeously gunky lemon halves.

    Delicious dish and so easy! Would recommend cooking the chicken for at least 15 mins more than recommended however

    I can honestly say that this was one of the most disappointing meals I’ve ever made; even after adjusting the cooking time, (the chicken was nowhere near cooked using the allotted time).

    The cooking time for the chicken was not sufficient. I have a powerful oven and followed the instructions to the tee, I had to add on an additional 20 mins cooking time.
