Cooking Steps

GET PREPPED
1

Finely chop the brown onion. Peel and crush the garlic. Pick the basil leaves and finely slice. Finely chop the parsley. Cut the zucchini into 0.5 cm half-moons.

BROWN THE CHICKEN
2

Cut the chicken thigh in half lengthways. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 1/2 the chicken to the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden (the chicken will continue cooking in step 4). Set aside on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining chicken thigh.

MAKE THE SAUCE
3

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes, water (check ingredients list for the amount), salt (use suggested amount), 1/2 the basil and 1/2 the parsley to the frying pan. Crumble in the chicken stock cube and bring to the boil.

ADD THE RISONI & ZUCCHINI
4

Add the risoni and zucchini to the frying pan with the sauce and return to the boil. Nestle the chicken thigh into the risoni, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 13-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the risoni is ‘al dente’. DTIP: If you don’t have a frying pan with a lid, cover it with aluminium foil.

FINISH THE RISONI
5

Stir the risoni and chicken and season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.

SERVE UP
6

Divide the chicken risoni between plates. Top with the flaked Parmesan cheese and remaining basil and parsley.
