Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken thighs in the mixture.
Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they are blistered.
Cook the orzo in a pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and return to the pot.
Stir in the baby spinach to the orzo until wilted, adding olive oil for flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the cooked chicken thighs over a bed of spinach orzo and top with roasted cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with additional olive oil and balsamic vinegar if desired.
