Instructions
- Prepare the chicken and cut into cubes/chunks. In a fry pan add some oil and start to fry the chicken. season with salt and peeper and allow one side of the chicken to brown before turning it over to brown the second side. Once you have turned the chicken add in the dried herbs and remove from the heat when the chicken is nicely brown.
- Pour the 2 tablespoons of oil into a saucepan and add the rice. Stir and coat the rice with the oil. Now add the water to the pot with the stock cubes. Season the stock with the herbs and soy sauce. Add the vegetables and the extra oil and then tip in the cooked chicken. Give it all a stir through and bring the boil.
- Now turn the heat right down so you have a gentle simmer and simmer for 25 minutes. When there a re a couple of minutes to go keep an eye on the pot and make sure the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. You can give it a quick stir through at this stage.
Once all the stock has been absorbed your Chicken Risotto is ready to be served.
