One pot chicken risoni with crispy salami (orzo)
Recipe video above. Risoni - also known as orzo - in a creamy tomato parmesan sauce with juicy slices of seasoned chicken and lots of awesome crispy bits of golden salami! The better bacon - bolder flavour, and it doesn't spit when you're cooking it. :) The addition of chickpeas adds a soft nutty crunch and another layer of texture to this one-pan wonder that's a cosy bowl of deliciousness! Total crowd pleaser.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Spice Mix - Mix the ingredients in a small bowl then sprinkle both sides of the chicken.
2
Crispy salami - Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Cook the salami for ⏱️ 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until crispy and golden. Remove into a paper towel lined bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving the tasty salami fat in the pan.
3
Cook chicken - In the same pan, cook the chicken for ⏱️ 3 minutes on each side until dark golden and just cooked through (internal temperature 67°C/153°F). Remove onto a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
4
Sauté - Still on medium high, cook the garlic and onion for 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the wine and let it simmer rapidly for a couple of minutes until mostly evaporated, stirring to dissolve the fond (gold bits) on the base of the pan into the wine.

5
Risoni (orzo) - Add the tomato paste and stir for ⏱️ 1 minute to cook out the sour raw flavour. Add the risoni and stir to coat in the tomato paste. Add the chickpeas, chicken stock, salt, pepper.
chicken stock (, low sodium (or veg stock))3 cups
6
Simmer - Bring to a simmer, then cook for ⏱️ 8 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until the risoni is just about cooked. Lower the heat to medium as it gets thicker so the base doesn't catch.
7
Cream & spinach - Add the cream, parmesan, spinach and sun dried tomatoes (if using). Stir until the spinach is wilted then remove from the heat. The risoni should be oozy and tender. (Still firm? Note 6)
8
Finish - Cut the chicken into thick slices. (Bit cool? Note 7) Spoon risoni into bowls. Top with the chicken, sprinkle with lots of crispy salami, parmesan and basil (if using). Dig in!
