- 1 g arlic clove (, minced)
- 1/2 tsp salt + black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 x 110 - 120g/4oz chicken breasts (, skinless and boneless (Note 1))
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil ((if required))
- 1 small onion (, finely chopped (brown, white, yellow))
- 1 g arlic clove (, minced)
- 1 red capsicum / bell pepper (, chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups risoni / orzo pasta ((Note 2))
- 400 g / 14 oz can crushed tomato
- 3 cups chicken stock / broth
- 1 tsp Italian herb mix
- Pinch of red pepper flakes ((chilli flakes) (optional))
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup (3 tbsp) grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 cup basil leaves
Steps
-
Mix Marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Add chicken and mix to coat. Marinate for 1 hour - 24 hours (See Note 3 to skip marinating).
-
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while resting.
-
Turn heat up to medium high. Add oil if required.
-
Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Add capsicum and cook for 1 minute or until onion is translucent.
-
Add risoni, tomato, chicken stock, Italian herbs, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Mix and bring to simmer, then lower heat to medium low or so it simmers gently.
-
Cook for 9 - 10 minutes, stirring frequently (otherwise it will stick).
-
Take it off the stove when the risoni is just cooked (touch under is ok, finishes cooking in residual heat very quickly). It should still be saucy (see video).
-
Stir through parmesan and basil - excess liquid will evaporate in this step.
-
Spoon risoni into serving bowls, top with chicken. Serve with extra parmesan and basil.
