Italian pasta meets Greek feta for a delicious fusion dish.
Ingredients:
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 400g canned diced tomatoes
  • 8 skinless chicken drumsticks
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 2 individual celery, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 80ml white wine, dry-style
  • 375ml salt-reduced chicken stock
  • 75g risoni
  • 50g reduced fat feta cheese, crumbled
  • 40.00 ml fresh oregano leaves
Instructions:
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over high heat, sizzle chicken in half of the oil until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken to a 4.5-litre (18-cup) slow cooker.
  • In the same pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, and cook until softened, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and dried oregano, cook until fragrant for about 1 minute. Add wine, bay leaves, tomatoes, and stock, bring to a boil. Transfer everything to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2½ hours (or low for 5 hours). Add risoni, cover, and cook on high for 30 minutes (or low for 1 hour) until risoni is tender and chicken is cooked through. Serve with a garnish of feta and fresh oregano.
