Created with Jamie | Lemon and Herb Chicken with Zucchini Risotto

Product was provided by Woolworths for this recipe creation*

On Tuesday night I posted that I have been creating some very exciting new recipes with the Created with Jamie range by Woolworths. This week I have published my Crunchy Garlic Chicken Fillets with Pesto Potatoes and my Pork and Veal Sliders with Wedges recipe and tonight I am posting probably my big favourite of the bunch, Lemon and Herb Chicken with Zucchini Risotto.

Just quickly, if you missed the previous two meals click on the pictures below to be taken to each recipe!

For today’s recipe I have used the free range Lemon and Herb Whole  Chicken from the meat section of your local Woolworths. These are priced at $9.49 per kilo.

This chicken is beyond delicious. I will be honest and say it far exceeded my expectations. I sometimes find store bought ready marinated chickens a little bland. The flavour in this chicken meat was absolutely amazing. This is thanks to the chicken being ready marinated in delicious lemon, herbs and olive oil. Such classic flavours that just work so well together.

This will certainly become the new roast chicken for my family. The kiddies loved leftover cold chicken on their sandwiches the next day in their lunchboxes and haven’t stopped asking me to buy in it next weeks shopping trip. 

Give me a whole chicken and Ill give you a list of ways to use it such as:

• Served with vegges and salad.
• Shred the cooked chicken and combined with a cheesy white sauce and serve with pasta.
• Cooked chicken in wraps with a little salad.
• Serve the roast chicken with my pesto potatoes from Tuesdays post.
• On pizzas or in pizza pockets.
• Cooked shredded chicken in sandwiches or toasted bagels with a little cream cheese and rocket.
• Add cooked shredded chicken in a salad of rocket, spinach, beetroot and feta. Squeeze the lemon from inside the chicken over the salad.
• Mix cooked shredded chicken with a little whole egg mayonaise, chopped chives and a little lemon zest. Serve on fresh bread or in lettuce cups.
• Add to chicken broth for a delicious soup.

Today I have served this delicious chicken with a zucchini risotto. This is a perfect meal for these colder months. This is enough to serve a family of four. Simply quarter the cooked chicken and place on top of a serving of risotto. You may prefer to remove the chicken flesh, shred and stir through the risotto. You can serve these with bread rolls from last night Pork and Veal Sliders with Wedges recipe.
