A true one pot wonder, this risoni dish puts our Meatsmith Tuscan chicken Marylands front and centre. With our butchers having done the hard work with the herby marinade, you only need four more ingredients for this recipe: risoni, cream, chicken stock and parmesan. It's a simple technique — the Marylands are roasted until golden before being braised with orzo and stock. The pasta is then finished with plenty of cream and lashings of parmesan for a savoury lift that would be the envy of many Tuscan kitchens.

Such creamy deliciousness! I had some mozzarella left so put some in which elevated the creaminess. Everything else was perfection this recipe.

I sectioned a whole chicken for this, which worked really well. Was surprised at how succulent the chicken was! I thought the marinade wouldn't be flavoursome enough but the dish turned out rich, tasty and very delicious.

Delicious recipe. Marinated chicken legs in the morning with the suggested herbs. Added carrots and cauliflower half way through ( no tomato ). Added labneh as I didn’t have cream - gave it a tangy taste. Added feta as I didn’t have parmesan cheese .

This was super quick and easy and so delicious! I marinated the chicken overnight because I could find the one in the recipe and I browned the chicken first in the fry pan to get the skin nice and golden. The pasta sauce was amazing.

Delicious! I marinated drumsticks with oil, herbs, sun-dried tomatoes and lots of salt and pepper. Easy to make - and not much washing up! Only change I made was I halved the cream - still very creamy and delish. Will be adding this to the family faves.

Really delicious! I marinated the chicken overnight in similar ingredients as I don’t have access to the Marylands referenced in the recipe. The recipes really straightforward and didn’t require much hands-on time.
