Ingredients:

Serving

1 medium roasting chicken (3-4 lbs)
3 tbsp olive oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups orzo pasta
3 medium onions, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large bell peppers, cored seeded,and finely chopped
1 cup peeled chopped plum tomato
1/2 tsp ground cumin
4 cups water
grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450øF.
Wash chicken and rub outside and inside with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Season skin with salt and pepper.
Place chicken in a medium-to-large baking pan, preferably glass or clay, and spread orzo evenly around chicken.
Add remaining oil and other ingredients except cheese and toss in pan to combine.
Place pan, uncovered, in hot oven and reduce heat to 350øF.
Bake for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, basting chicken every 10 to 15 minutes with pan juices, until chicken is tender and orzo cooked, adding more water, if necessary, during baking if orzo seems too dry.
Sprinkle with grated cheese before serving.
