Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook risoni, uncovered, over high heat, ‘al dente’, 7-8 minutes. • Drain and return to saucepan, add chicken-style stock powder and stir to combine.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. Slice lemon into wedges. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, garlic & herb seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from heat, add the butter and honey and turn chicken to coat.
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it's no longer pink inside.
• To the risoni, add tomato, spinach & rocket mix, basil pesto, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine. • Slice garlic and herb chicken. • Divide risoni salad between bowls. Top with chicken. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese and serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
