Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Finely chop brown onion (see ingredients) and garlic. 
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. 
• Thinly slice the courgette.  

Cook the chicken & bacon
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat.
• When the oil is hot, cook the courgette, diced bacon and chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 6-7 minutes. 
• Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate. 

TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

Cook the onion
3

• Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook the onion and sliced leek, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. 
• Add the garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Simmer the risoni
4

• Add the risoni to the pan and stir to combine. Season, then add the water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the risoni is 'al dente' and all the liquid has been absorbed, 15-18 minutes.

TIP: Add a dash more water if your risoni looks dry.
TIP: 'Al dente' risoni is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Bring it all together
5

• When the risoni is done, stir through the plant-based basil pesto, chicken (plus any resting juices), bacon, courgette and baby spinach leaves until wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide chicken, bacon pesto and leek risoni between bowls. Tear over the parsley and top with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
