Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice portabello mushrooms.

Cook the chicken
2

• Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate (the chicken will finish cooking in step 4).

Start the risotto
3

• Return the frying pan to high heat, then add half the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook mushrooms until browned, 5 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Bake the risotto
4

• Add arborio rice, the water, chicken-style stock powder and mushroom powder (see ingredients) to the pan with mushrooms. Return chicken to the pan (along with any resting juices). • Bring to the boil, then transfer the risotto to a baking dish. • Cover tightly with foil and bake risotto until liquid has absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes.

Make the salad
5

• Meanwhile, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl, then season. Add rocket leaves and toss to combine. • When risotto is done, remove from oven and stir through a splash of water (if needed). Stir through the remaining butter and half the grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.

Serve up
6

• Divide chicken and mushroom baked risotto between bowls. • Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the risotto. • Serve with balsamic rocket salad. Enjoy!
