Cooking Steps
• Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil a kettle of water. • Finely chop celery. Cut carrot into half moons. Cut chicken tenderloins into bite-sized chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, diced bacon, celery and carrot, tossing, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
• Add arborio rice, garlic paste and Aussie spice blend to the frying pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from the heat, then add the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people) and chicken stock pot. Stir to combine, then transfer the risotto mixture to a baking dish. • Cover tightly with foil and bake until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.
• When the risotto is done, stir through baby spinach and the butter. Season to taste.
TIP: If the rice is dry, add a splash of water and stir through.
• Serve the chicken, bacon and veggie risotto between bowls. Top with Parmesan cheese and flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
