Creating One Pot Chicken Risoni with Crispy Salami is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sauté the Salami: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the salami slices and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
3. Cook the Chicken: In the same pot, add the seasoned chicken thighs. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside with the salami.
4. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add Risoni and Broth: Stir in the risoni and chicken broth. Bring to a boil while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken and crispy salami to the pot. Add cherry tomatoes and Italian herbs. Stir to combine everything.
7. Cook to Perfection: Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the risoni is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally.
8. Serve with Fresh Parsley: Once cooked, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving to elevate the visual appeal.
