Cooking Steps
ā¢ Preheat oven to 220Ā°C/200Ā°C fan-forced. ā¢ Slice lime into wedges. ā¢ Thinly slice carrots and zucchini into half-moons. ā¢ Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oilover high heat. ā¢ When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned, 5-6 minutes.
TIP: The chicken will continue cooking in Step 3!
ā¢ Reduce heat to medium-high and add an extra drizzle of olive oil to the pan. ā¢ Add tom yum paste, risotto-style rice, coconut milk, the water and chicken stock to the pan. Bring to the boil and cook, stirring, until combined, 2 minutes.
ā¢ Transfer risotto to a baking dish. ā¢ Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is āal denteā, 24-28 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
ā¢ 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. ā¢ 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.
TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto if needed
ā¢ Divide tom yum chicken risotto between bowls and garnish with crispy shallots. ā¢ Serve with any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
