Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Trim and halve green beans. Roughly chop courgette. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Cook risoni in boiling water until 'al dente' 7-8 minutes. • Drain, then return risoni to the pan.
TIP: 'Al dente' risoni is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, green beans and courgette, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook, tossing to coat, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add chicken, green beans, courgette, salad leaves, basil pesto and 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese to the cooked risoni. Stir until combined, then season with salt and pepper.
• Divide chicken, veggie and pesto risoni between bowls. • Sprinkle over remaining Parmesan cheese to serve.
