Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 160 C.

* Step 2

Season chicken simply with salt and pepper.

* Step 3

Fry chicken on a high heat until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

* Step 4

On a medium heat, fry onions and garlic until translucent.

* Step 5

Add the rice to the garlic and onion. Do not add moisture at this point as the idea is to begin the rice in the style of a risotto. Fry until glassy.

* Step 6

Add the turmeric. I use it mainly as a colouring agent in this dish.

* Step 7

Add the glass of wine and allow it to reduce.

* Step 8

Add the chicken stock.

* Step 9

At this point, I add half of the basil and lightly season to taste with salt and pepper.

* Step 10

Place chicken on top of rice.

* Step 11

Place lid on pot and put pot in oven for approximately 20 mins.

* Step 12

Remove from oven and put chopped tomatoes on top of chicken without stirring. Add remaining basil and give a good squeeze of lemon to suit your taste. Replace lid and return to oven for another 15 mins.

* Step 13

Remove from oven, and carefully remove chicken from the cooked rice without losing the tomato and basil topping. Check rice for seasoning.

* Step 14

Finally plate up, grating the parmesan on top of the chicken. Use the rice as a base and plate the chicken on top. Sprinkle with MORE basil leaves (it's my favourite herb it you haven't guessed) and serve hot.
