PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F.

  • 2

    Pat the chicken thigh dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

  • 3

    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and once shimmering, place the chicken thigh skin-side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.

  • 4

    Flip the chicken thigh and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for about 15-18 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

  • 5

    While the chicken is roasting, prepare the lemon herb orzo. In a small saucepan, combine orzo, minced garlic, chicken broth, and half of the lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

  • 6

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the remaining lemon juice and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • 7

    Plate the crispy chicken thigh alongside a serving of lemon herb orzo, and garnish with a little extra parsley if desired.
