Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts your choice!
  • 1 diced onion for that aromatic kick
  • 500 g beans for a fresh green twist
  • 1 jar of sun-dried tomato pesto or sun-dried tomatoes for that tangy zing
  • 1 cup of Risoni or Orzo, if that’s what you have
  • 2 cups of stock chicken or veggie, you pick!
  • 300 ml of cream for that rich silky finish

Method
 

  1. Season your chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. Get your pan nice and hot with a splash of olive oil.
  2. Brown the chicken on both sides to lock in those juices. It’s okay if it’s not cooked through yet; we’ll get there!
  3. Remove the chicken, then throw in the diced onion and beans for a quick fry.
  4. Stir in the pesto, Risoni, stock, and cream. Wait for it to bubble with joy!
  5. Add the chicken back in, turn the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. You’re aiming for all that liquid gold to be absorbed and the Risoni perfectly al dente.
  6. Voilà! You’ve got yourself a dish that’s not just a meal, but a love letter on a plate. 😘 Perfect for date nights, impressing guests, or when you need a little self-love.
  7. Grab your apron, and let’s make some magic in the kitchen! 🍴💫
