Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice leek. Roughly chop tomato. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook leek and diced bacon, breaking it up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl. • Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
• To the pan with chicken, add tomato and Aussie spice blend, then return leek and bacon to the pan and cook, tossing, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add arborio rice and the water. • Bring to the boil, then transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. • Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes.
• When the risotto is done, remove from oven, then stir through the baby spinach leaves, butter and grated Parmesan cheese. • Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto (if needed). Season to taste.
• Divide baked chicken, bacon and leek risotto between bowls. • Sprinkle over toasted almonds. Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
