Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Place the chicken on a large baking tray lined with nonstick baking paper. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and scatter over the Colman’s chicken casserole recipe mix. Toss well, to fully coat the chicken, then roast in the oven for around 40 mins until the skin is crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, put the stock in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm while you make the risotto.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onions and leeks and cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden. Add the garlic and parsley stalks and cook for 1 min, then add the rice. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 1 min, then add a ladle of the hot stock. Cook, stirring occasionally, until evaporated, then add the next ladle of stock. Continue to add the stock gradually for about 25 mins, until the rice is cooked and all the stock has been used.
  4. To serve, divide the risotto between 4 plates and divide the chicken drumsticks between the plates. Scatter over the parsley leaves and serve immediately.
