    1 Heat the olive oil in a deep non-stick frying pan set over a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2–3 min until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

    2 Add the leeks and mushrooms to the pan and cook for 2–3 min.

    3 Add the cooked rice and half the stock, then stir over a medium heat until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Return the chicken and any juices to the pan. Add the remaining stock and continue to cook the risotto until all the liquid is absorbed.
