Had this 2 nights on the trot. First night I felt the orzo was a little bland so I added some paprika and made it more saucy tonight and it's blooming lovely. Never had chicken mince before but I'm a fan!

Love that you tweaked it to suit you โ€” paprika and extra sauce sounds like a great shout! ๐Ÿ˜„ And welcome to the chicken mince fan club, glad you enjoyed it xx
