    Can substitute ancho chillies for cascabel chillies.

    Made a lot of little adjustments to this as others suggested - was overwhelmed by the amount of cinnamon to begin with so I toasted an soaked them but didn’t add them to the pot - the flavour was still there but I think if they’d gone in it would’ve been a bit much. A great base recipe though, chicken was perfect and orzo lovely.

    Needs additional salt and lemon.

    Needs more salt and lemon, but otherwise chicken is super tender and orzo silky.

    Made as written and generally well received. I used 25 grams of ancho, which was two but 3 would have been better. Cinnamon wise this was too much cinnamon for us. I’d go with half. I’d also add some lovely cherry tomatoes and try to to retrieve the mushrooms and chop then a bit. All that said, the base recipe is quite good and with a few tweaks could be excellent.

    This was pretty low in flavo. I wonder if there is a misprint for how much salt is needed. For the whole dish is only calls for 2.5 teaspoons of salt. If I make again I will salt normally.

    We found this to be very bland. Good baseline for a recipe but we wouldn't repeat it as written.

    Delicious, a chicken cooked in a lovely creamy mushroomy orzo ‘risotto’.
