Smokey Bacon, Chicken & Baked Brie Risoni

with Sautéed Veggies & Baby Spinach

Once popped into the oven, the risoni soaks up all the flavours from the bacon and veggies sautéed to smokey perfection in our tomato and herb seasoning. But the icing on the cake, or in this case the risoni, is the creamy baked Brie on top!

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. 
  • Finely chop celery, carrot and garlic. 
  • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
Cook the chicken & start the risoni
2
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
  • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned, 5-6 minutes. 
  • Reduce heat to medium-high and add an extra drizzle of olive oil to the pan. Cook carrot, celery and bacon, until starting to brown, 4-6 minutes. 
  • Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, tomato & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 
  • Add risoni and stir to coat. 
  • Stir in passata and the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people). 
Bake the risoni
3
  • Transfer risoni to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. 
  • Bake until liquid is absorbed and risoni is ‘al dente’, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ risoni is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
TIP: If needed, add a splash of water to loosen the risoni. 

Bake the brie
4
  • When risoni has 10 minutes remaining, to a second baking dish, add brie, drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake until softened.
Finish the risoni
5
  • Remove risoni from oven and stir through baby spinach leaves until wilted. Season.

TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen risoni if needed. 

Finish & serve
