How much do we love risotto? We love risotto so much that we’ve prepared a special one for you tonight. Leek, celery and corn make up the base of this dish, with bites of chicken throughout. Dijon mustard flavours this baked rice dish to give it an extra kick.

1
leek
1 stalk
celery
2 clove
garlic
1 tin
sweetcorn
1 packet
Chicken Drumstick Fillet
1 packet
arborio rice
1 sachet
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 sachet
Chicken-Style Stock Powder
1 packet
Dijon mustard
2 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
olive oil
2.25 cup
boiling water
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice leek. Finely chop celery and garlic. Drain sweetcorn. • Cut chicken drumstick fillet into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook leek, celery and corn, tossing occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-high, add arborio rice, garlic and garlic & herb seasoning to the veggies and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat, then add chicken-style stock powder and the boiling water (2 1/4 cups for 2 people / 4 1/2 cups for 4 people). Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes.
TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• When the risotto has 10 minutes remaining, wipe out the frying pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. • When the risotto is done, stir through the butter, chicken, dijon mustard and half the grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside. TIP: Add a dash of water to the risotto if it looks a little dry.
• Divide garlicky dijon chicken risotto between bowls. • Garnish with remaining grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top!
