Warm your oven, put your Chicken Chargrills on a baking tray and roast (following the instructions on the packet of Birds Eye Chicken Chargrills).<br />2. Finely chop the leek, celery and onion and gently fry the vegetables in frying pan with a little oil until soft.<br />3. Add your tin of tomatoes and puree and add seasoning to taste. Reduce the sauce for about 15 minutes until it has the thickness of a pasta sauce (handy tip, this sauce can be made in bulk and frozen for later batches).<br />4. Add your stock cube to a pan of boiling water and stir to dissolve. Any extra frozen veg that you're using can be added to the rice at this point.<br />5. Rinse your basmati rice and add to the pan of water. Leave to boil for around 10 minutes.<br />6. Drain the rice and combine with the tomato sauce along with your cream cheese. Stir over a very low heat until well mixed.<br />7. Remove the chicken chargrills from the oven and dice into bite sized chunks. Serve your rice and top with the sliced chicken and top with fresh parsley and cheese if you're feeling fancy.<br /><br />https://www.mumsnet.com/video/cheese-chicken-tomato-risotto-recipe<br /><br />90% of 225 Mumsnet testers would recommend Birds Eye frozen chicken<br /><br />Like this?
