• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, Nan's special seasoning and the olive oil (1/2 tbs for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people). Set aside. • Add cornflour and the plain flour to the chicken mixture and toss to coat.• Roughly chop mild chorizo. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat, heat enough olive oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chorizo and snacking tomatoes, stirring, until starting to brown, 3-4 minutes. • Meanwhile, boil the kettle. • Slice zucchini into thin half-moons. • Roughly chop silverbeet.
• To pan with chorizo, add arborio rice, garlic paste, tomato paste and Nan's special seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from heat, then add the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people) and zucchini. Stir to combine, then transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil, then bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes. TIP: 'al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• When risotto is done, stir through the butter, silverbeet and half the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste. TIP: If the risotto looks dry, stir through a splash of water.
• Divide Nan's chorizo ,chicken and veggie risotto between bowls. • Top with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
