Instructions

Get Started
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Boil a full kettle. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.

Risotto Time
2

Add the diced chicken and garlic to the pan and fry for 1 min. Add the risotto rice, stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.

Stir in the boiled water for the risotto (see pantry for amount), mixed herbs, and veg stock paste. Bring back up to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil). Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Roast your Tomatoes
3

Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and pop them onto a piece of foil with a drizzle of oil, then season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount).

Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel. Pop the tomato parcel onto a large baking tray and roast on the bottom shelf until softened, 15-20 mins.

Drain the mozzarella and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then tear into small pieces.

Bring on the Spinach
4

When the risotto is cooked, remove it from the oven and mix in the butter (see pantry for amount), hard Italian style cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomato paste.

Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed.

Change your oven setting to grill and set to the highest temperature.

Get Grilling
5

Arrange the mozzarella on top of your risotto.

Grill until golden and bubbling, 5-8 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

Share your chicken risotto between your bowls, then top with your roasted baby plum tomatoes (discard the juices) and drizzle over the pesto to finish.

Enjoy!
