Step 1

Preheat oven to 200C. In a large baking dish, place leek, bacon, mushrooms and garlic, and toss to combine. Place chicken pieces skin-side up on top. Drizzle with oil and season well with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Remove from oven then sprinkle risoni in and around the chicken. Drizzle over stock and cream, and tuck in thyme sprigs. Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed and risoni is cooked.
