chicken thigh recipe If you’re a regular reader, you know how much we love chicken thighs, the tender, succulent alternative to tried-and-true boneless chicken breast. But this one-pot recipe is really something to crow about.

Not only do you get chicken thighs in all their juicy glory, they’re simmered in pancetta drippings, which makes them even better. Add to that tender orzo, diced tomatoes and the happy bite of kalamata olives (plus the zip of sweet seasonal fresh basil and a dollop of goat cheese), and you’ve got a satisfying, full-fledged meal that’ll have ‘em wanting seconds. (And since this Chicken Thighs with Orzo recipe yields 6 full servings at just $1.65 per serving, you’ll probably have enough for another helping.)
