Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Slice lime into wedges. • Thinly slice carrots and zucchini into half-moons. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned, 4-5 minutes. TIP: The chicken will continue cooking in Step 3! TIP: Cook chicken in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
• Reduce heat to medium-high and add an extra drizzle of olive oil to the pan. Add mild curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add arborio rice, coconut milk, the water, and chicken-style stock powder to the pan. Bring to the boil and cook, stirring, until combined, 2 minutes.
• Transfer risotto to a large baking dish. • Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes. Season to taste. TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto if needed.
• When risotto has 5 minutes remaining, wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook zucchini and carrot, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Remove risotto from the oven. Stir through the soy sauce and a squeeze of lime juice. Add carrot, zucchini and baby spinach leaves, stirring until wilted, 1 minute.
• Divide Thai curry chicken risotto between plates and garnish with crispy shallots. • Serve with any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
