Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small brown onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups uncooked risoni pasta
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup thickened cream
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken you can use a supermarket roast chicken
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • ½ teaspoon salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the oil, butter, onion and garlic to a large frypan over medium-high heat and sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Add the Italian seasoning, salt & pepper and risoni. Cook for 3 minutes to toast the risoni and add extra flavour.
  • Add the chicken stock and lemon juice. Once it starts to come to a boil, lower to a medium low heat and continue cooking for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. It should gently bubbling and not boiling as you don't want the liquid to reduce too much before the pasta has cooked.
  • Add the cream and cooked chicken, and cook for a further 3 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese and spinach. Allow to rest for ⅗ minutes prior to serving.
