    Used quorn chicken instead, took a little longer to cook than the recipe said but when it was done it was delish. Warming, filling and super easy to cook. Perfect for a cold autumn evening! Thank you.

    This was comfort food at its very best. Rich and silky, herby and moreish. Top marks for this one 👌. Additionally having this one now in my repertoire it adds to the many many reasons why my very lucky wife married me 🤣

    Lovely recipe - used a chicken substitute as I’m vegetarian. I do find the orzo takes a little longer to cook. But this is simple and tasty, makes a great midweek supper.

    Could you correct the stock amount on the ingredient list/ in the recipe please, and note when to put the stock in- is that along with the orzo?
