Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Thinly slice leek. Roughly chop silverbeet. Roughly chop carrot. Cut chicken breast strips into 2cm chunks.
• Boil the kettle. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook chicken, leek and carrot, tossing, until starting to brown, 4-6 minutes. • Add arborio rice, garlic paste and Aussie spice blend to pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from heat, then add boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people), chicken-style stock powder and silverbeet. • Stir to combine, then transfer 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.
• When the risotto is done, stir through butter and season to taste.
TIP: If the risotto is dry, add a splash of water and stir through.
• Divide chicken, leek and silverbeet risotto between bowls. • Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
