step 1
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and melt a third of the butter (1 tbsp). Add the chicken (1 pack), season and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
step 2
Add the remaining butter (2 tbsp) to the pan, then the onion (1). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic (2 cloves) and cook for 1 minute.
step 3
Meanwhile, dissolve the risotto paste (1 pack) in the boiling water (850 ml). Add the rice (300 g) to the pan and toast for 1 minute, then pour in the risotto stock. Stir well, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if it begins to dry out.
step 4
In the final 5 minutes of cooking, add the broad beans (150 g), asparagus (1 pack) and petit pois (150 g). Cook until the vegetables are tender.
step 5
Return the chicken to the pan and stir through the double cream (50 ml), parsley (1 bunch) and grated parmesan (to taste). Cook for a few minutes until combined.
step 6
Season to taste and finish with extra parmesan, if you like.
step 6 Season to taste and finish with extra parmesan, if you like.
