• Boil the kettle. Trim and halve green beans. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. Add risoni and cook until 'al dente' 7-8 minutes. • Drain, then return risoni to the pan.

TIP: 'Al dente' risoni is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
