Chicken Caesar Orzo

Cook the orzo

• Cook the orzo according to the packet instructions - cook in simmering water for 10 - 12 minutes until tender. Drain once cooked.

Cook the chicken & croutons

• While the orzo is cooking, preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
• Chop the sourdough into bite-size pieces and drizzle with some oil.
• Thinly slice the chicken, drizzle with some oil and season with salt.
• Air fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes until cooked through, shaking halfway through.
• Add the croutons after 6 minutes and air fry until golden. Note - if your air fryer has 1 drawer, you can cook the chicken in the same drawer as the croutons - you may need to increase the cooking time by a few minutes to ensure it all cooks evenly.

Make Caesar dressing

• While the chicken is cooking grate the Parmesan, unless already grated.
• To make the Caesar dressing, in a bowl mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and half the Parmesan. It should be the consistency of yoghurt - if needed add a splash of water.

Prep the rest of the ingredients

• Separate the little gem lettuce leaves. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Assemble & Plate Up

• Plate up the Chicken Caesar Orzo - top the little gem leaves with the orzo, chicken, croutons, cherry tomatoes, drizzle with the Caesar dressing and finish with the remaining Parmesan. Enjoy!
