Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Grate the Mozzarella cheese. Dice the zucchini. Peel and crush the garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes. TIP: It's much easier to cut tomatoes using a small serrated knife. Pick the oregano leaves. Juice the lemon.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and cook each side for 2 minutes, or until golden. Transfer the chicken to an oven tray lined with baking paper and place in the oven for 14 minutes, or until cooked through. When the chicken has 2 minutes left of cooking time, sprinkle the Mozzarella over it and return to the oven until melted and golden.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Add 3/4 of the garlic and the Italian herbs (use suggested amount) and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the risoni, water (use suggested amount) and the vegetable stock cube (use suggested amount). Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring, for 10-15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
While the risoni is cooking, combine 1/2 the cherry tomatoes, the oregano and a pinch of the remaining garlic in a medium bowl. Add *2 tbs of lemon juice, a small drizzle of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Tip: Add more lemon juice or garlic depending on your taste preference.
When the risoni has finished cooking, add the remaining cherry tomatoes and 2 tsp of lemon juice . TIP**: Feel free to add a little more lemon juice depending on your taste preference.
Divide the cheesy chicken and risoni pasta salad between plates. Top the chicken with the bruschetta topping.
