I’m all for quick and easy weekday meals. Â Especially when I know all the family will eat it without complaint. Â Risoni (rice shaped pasta) cooks quickly and this meal only takes about 15 minutes cooking time and it only uses one pot, so not too many dishes! Â I add a small dash of cream to the kids servings. Â I love pepper on mine. Â Parmesan cheese would go well with this dish too.
Ingredients:
Serves 4-5Â
2 chicken breast fillets, cut into small cubes
1 cup risoni
2 cups water
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 mushrooms, chopped finely
2 rashers bacon, chopped
1/2 tsp dried tarragon
Chicken stock powder to taste
small amount oil
cream/Parmesan cheese optional
Method:
Fry onion and garlic in a little oil for a couple of minutes, then add bacon and chicken. Â Brown off chicken slightly then add the mushrooms and cook for approximately 1 minute. Â Then add tarragon, risoni, water and chicken stock powder. Â Stir well then cover the pan and reduce the heat. Â Stir regularly to avoid the risoni sticking. Â Cook until risoni is just tender. Â Dish up into individual bowls and add a dash of cream or parmesan cheese if desired.
Enjoy! Â Jacinta x
