Oven-Baked Chicken and Mushroom Risotto
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 250 g Swiss brown mushrooms sliced
- 2 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups gluten-free chicken stock
- 50 g baby spinach leaves

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160˚C fan-forced. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof pan over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in 2 batches. Transfer to a plate. Set aside.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes until onion softens. Toss through mushrooms. Cook for 1 minute.
