Garlicky Bacon, Chicken & Sweet Potato Risotto

with Parmesan & Walnuts

We're big fans of baked risotto for an easy family dinner. Just pop it in the oven and walk away – the flavours will develop and the rice will soak up the liquid to become soft and creamy. This version pairs sweet potato, bacon and chicken with two of our trusty seasonings, and is finished with chopped walnuts for a subtle nuttiness and crunch. Perfection!

Cooking Steps

Roast the sweet potato
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. • Halve snacking tomatoes. • Place sweet potato and tomatoes on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender and blistered, 20-25 minutes. Little cooks: Lend a hand by tossing the sweet potato with the olive oil and seasonings!

2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop silverbeet. • Finely chop brown onion and garlic. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!

Start the risotto
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high, then add diced bacon and onion, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water, Nan's special seasoning, risotto-style rice and silverbeet. Bring to the boil, then remove pan from heat.

Bake the risotto
4

• Transfer risotto mixture to a large baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes. • Meanwhile, roughly chop walnuts. TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

5

• When risotto is ready, stir in baby spinach leaves, the butter and Parmesan cheese. • Gently stir in roasted sweet potato and tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen the risotto, if needed.

6

• Divide garlicky bacon, chicken and sweet potato baked risotto between bowls. • Sprinkle with walnuts to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the walnuts!
