(May be present: Eggs, Milk, Gluten, Soy, Fish, Sesame, Almond, Brazil Nut, Cashew, Hazelnut, Macadamia, Pecan, Pistachio, Walnut, Pine Nut)
1 sachet
Chicken-Style Stock Powder
1 sachet
Aussie Spice Blend
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
olive oil
2 cup
boiling water
30 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Roughly chop silverbeet. Roughly chop carrot. Trim woody ends of asparagus and cut into thirds. Cut lemon into wedges. Cut chicken breast strips into 2cm chunks.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook chicken and carrot, tossing, until starting to brown, 4-6 minutes. • Add arborio rice, garlic paste and Aussie spice blend and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from heat, then add the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people), chicken-style stock powder and silverbeet. Stir to combine, then transfer the risotto mixture to a baking dish. • Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid has been absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes. • In the last 10 minutes of cook time, add asparagus and continue cooking.
TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• When the risotto is done, stir through the butter, then add a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
TIP: If the risotto is dry, stir through a splash more water.

• Divide chicken, asparagus and silverbeet risotto between bowls. • Top with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
