Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

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.

Cook the Mozzarella chicken
2

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.

Cook the risoni
3

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.

Make the bruschetta topping
4

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.

Finish the risoni
5

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.
