Pre-heat oven to 180c
Add the chopped onion, baby tomatoes & chicken thighs into a deep baking tray
Stir the pesto into the chicken stock, and pour over the ingredients in the baking tray. Pop into the oven for 15 minutes
Remove the tray form the oven, and add in the orzo around the chicken. Give it a little stir to ensure it’s covered by the stock.
Bake for a further 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, give the pasta a stir, and just make sure it isn’t stuck in the corners or clumping. Add in the green beans, push down gently so that they are partly submerged. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for a further 5 minutes. Try a bit of the pasta to ensure it’s cook through, and just double check that the chicken is also cooked through.
To serve, sprinkle over some fresh basil leaves, add some parmesan curls and grind some pepper over the top. You can add a little pesto on top of the chicken at this stage if you’d like to make it look extra appetising!
