Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into roughly 2 cm chunks
1 cup arborio rice
2 tbsp Gewürzhaus Venetian Gondola Spice
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
200g cherry tomatoes, halved
150g mushrooms, halved (or quartered, if large)
2 ½ cups chicken stock, heated
Gewürzhaus Pyramid Flake Salt, to taste
¼ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated

Directions

Preheat your oven to 190°C (fan forced)
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large ovenproof skillet (preferably one that has a lid). Add the onion and chicken and fry over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 3 minutes or until lightly browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
Return the pan to the heat and add 1 tbsp of oil. Pour in the rice and stir for a couple of minutes, until the grains are slightly toasted.
Add the spice, carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms and cooked chicken and onion. Mix well.
Pour in the hot stock and stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
Cover the skillet with a lid or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the rice is cooked but still has a little bit of bite left to it.
Take the pan out of the oven, give the rice a gentle stir and then let it rest with the lid on for another 5-10 minutes.
Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and serve.
