Instructions
Creating One Pot Chicken Risoni with Crispy Salami is as straightforward as following these simple steps:
1. Heat Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Salami: Add the sliced salami to the pot and sauté until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
4. Add Chicken: Toss in the diced chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Incorporate Risoni: Stir in the risoni pasta, mixing it well with the chicken and onion mixture.
6. Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
7. Simmer: Cover and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until risoni is tender and liquid has mostly absorbed.
8. Stir in Greens: Gently add the chopped spinach or kale, mixing until just wilted.
9. Top with Salami: Add the crispy salami back to the pot and stir everything to combine evenly.
10. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
These straightforward steps ensure that you’ll produce a flavorful and satisfying meal without a chaotic kitchen experience.
