• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Cut lemon into wedges. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken breast and soffritto mix, tossing, until golden, 4-5 minutes (the chicken will finish cooking in the oven!). • Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic paste, garlic & herb seasoning and tomato paste. Cook, tossing, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• To a baking dish, add chicken mixture, risoni, Italian herbs (see ingredients), the boiling water (11/2 cups for 2 people / 3 cups for 4 people) and chicken-style stock powder. Stir to combine. Cover with foil. Bake until risoni is tender and chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. • Remove risoni from oven, then stir through the butter, a squeeze of lemon juice and baby spinach leaves, until wilted, 1 minute. If needed, add a splash of water to loosen the risoni. Season to taste. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Divide baked Italian chicken and spinach risoni between bowls. • Top with Parmesan cheese and remain lemon wedges to serve. Enjoy!
