Utensils
•Pot with Lid
Instructions
1
- Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10 mins.
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Remove the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the mushrooms and leek until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Once softened, remove from the pan and set aside. Give the pan a quick wipe.
4
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary).
- Once hot, add the chicken and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
5
- Add the mushrooms and leek back to the pan along with the stock, worcester and creme fraiche.
- Cook, stirring, until the sauce has reduced slightly, 3-4 mins.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce is too thick.
6
- Once everything is ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between plates.
- Top with the chicken and creamy mushroom sauce.
- Scatter over the Italian hard cheese.
