Method

1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep pan.

2

Chop 300g of chicken breasts into bite sized cubes and cook until golden.

3

Finely dice 1 large onion, 1 stick of celery, 2 cloves of garlic and slice 1 courgette, then add to the pan with the chicken.

4

Fry for 5 to 6 minutes. Pour the rice into the pan, add 1 can of chopped tomatoes and mix together.

5

Prepare 1L of chicken stock. Add 1 ladleful to the risotto and stir until fully absorbed. Continue until only a couple of ladlefuls remain, ensuring that you keep stirring. This should take about 20 minutes.

6

Chop a courgette and add to the pan with 150g of frozen peas.

7

Add the remaining stock and stir until fully absorbed.

8

When the courgette is cooked and the peas are heated through, add 50g of Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper and stir.

9

Serve with some more grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
