Ingredients

  • 1 leek, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups arborio rice
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 250g button mushrooms, chopped
  • 3-4 cups boiling salt reduced vegetable stock
  • 400g chicken strips, trimmed of all visible fat
  • 60g baby spinach
  • 80g PHILADELPHIA Light Spreadable Cream Cheese

Method

  • Heat half the oil in a saucepan and brown the chicken strips well, remove. Add remaining oil, the leek and garlic and saute 2-3 minutes, stir in the rice and mix until translucent in appearance.
  • Pour in the white wine and stir until liquid is absorbed. Gradually pour in the boiling stock, in small quantities; make sure that the rice grains are absorbing the liquid.
  • Cook the rice over a medium heat until almost tender, add the mushrooms, spinach, lemon rind and chicken, and cook until tender. Stir through the Philly* until well combined. Serve immediately.
