Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 chicken legs, rinsed and patted dry
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 15 fluid ounces water
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 (16 ounce) package uncooked orzo pasta
Instructions
- Warm the oil in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Cook the onion in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Brown the chicken legs in the pot on all sides. Add the garlic; cook and stir for about 1 minute. Pour the tomato sauce and water over the chicken. Drop the bay leaves into the pot. Season with cloves, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat to medium-how; allow the mixture to simmer until the chicken meat is very tender and begins to pull off the bone, about 45 minutes.
- Stir the orzo into the liquid in the pot and cook until the orzo is soft, another 15 to 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaves to serve.
