Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into large pieces
1 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp chili flakes
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 – 142 g bunch of fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
1 cup jasmine or basmati rice (uncooked)
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
540 ml chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 tbsp maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich flavour)
3 tbsp lemon juice
2/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Heat the oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed saucepan with a lid. Add the chicken pieces, oregano, paprika, and chili flakes. Brown chicken for 3 – 4 minutes on each side (it will not be fully cooked through). Remove to a plate.
Add the garlic and tomatoes to the same pan and cook 2 – 3 minutes over medium heat. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
Add the rice, broth, chickpeas, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir well. Return the chicken to the pan. Bring to the boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 18 – 20 minutes, or until the rice is soft and the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat and leave to rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Stir half of the feta into the pan, then top with the rest just before serving.
