ROAST CHICKEN BREASTS WITH 'RISOTTO'

Steps:

• To make the chicken, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the fennel seeds and cook, stirring constantly until toasted, about 30 seconds. Let cool and grind in a spice grinder. Place in a small bowl and stir in the pepper, coriander and salt. Set aside 1 teaspoon of the mixture.
• Season the chicken on both sides with the remaining spice mixture. Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet, add the chicken and roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, to make the risotto, heat the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until lightly browned. Add the potatoes, thyme and wine. Lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the wine has been absorbed, about 7 minutes.
• Add the squash and 3/4 cup of the chicken broth and cook, stirring, until the broth is absorbed, adding up to 3/4 cup more as needed until the vegetables are tender. This will take about 30 minutes altogether. Stir in the spinach leaves and Parmesan. Remove from heat and season with salt.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off the excess butter. Add the 1/2 cup chicken broth and place over medium heat. Cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 4 minutes. Stir into the risotto.
• Dust the rim of a small platter with the reserved spice mixture and arrange the chicken on the platter. Place the risotto in a bowl and serve.

RISOTTO WITH CHICKEN AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large, heavy saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and leeks and saute until the onions turn golden brown (about 15 minutes).
• Add the Madeira to deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook over medium-high heat to reduce the liquid by half.
• In another saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a gentle simmer and maintain over low heat.
• Add 1 cup of the simmering stock to the onion mixture and continue cooking over medium-high heat until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is quite thick (about 15 minutes longer). Set aside.
• While the onions simmer, in another large heavy saucepan, heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and stir until each grain is well coated with oil and translucent with a white dot in the center (about 3 minutes).
• Add the simmering stock a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently after each addition. Wait until the stock is almost completely absorbed (but the rice is never dry on top) before adding the next ladelful. Save 1/4 cup of stock to add at the end.
• When the rice is tender to the bite but slightly firm in the center and looks creamy (about 20 minutes), stir in the chicken. Cook to heat through, about 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, caramelized onion mixture, and reserved 1/4 cup of stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve at once.

ROAST CHICKEN RISOTTO WITH CHICKEN CRACKLING

Steps:

• Strip all the meat from the chicken carcass, shredding it into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a plate along with any skin you can salvage and any jellied juices and fat, then chill until needed. Put the carcass in a large saucepan with the carrot, halved onion and bay leaves. Cover with cold water, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for at least 30 mins and up to 2 hrs until you have about 1 litre of stock. Strain through a sieve into a large jug or pan. Discard the bones, bay and veg. If you end up with more than 1 litre of stock, continue to cook over a high heat to reduce. Whisk in the stock cubes until dissolved, then keep the pan warm over a low heat while you make the risotto.
• Heat a large casserole or high- sided frying pan over a low heat. Melt the butter, add the oil and fry the chopped onion for 10 mins until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and stir for 1 min more, then add the rice. Cook, continuing to stir for a few minutes until the rice has absorbed some of the butter and is shiny. Pour in the wine and stir until the liquid has bubbled away.
• Add the lemon zest and thyme, then a generous ladleful of the warm stock. Continue to cook the risotto over a low-medium heat for 20 mins, stirring often, adding the stock a ladleful at a time and allowing it to be absorbed before the next addition. Add the reserved chicken and any jellied juices and fat towards the end of the cooking time to warm through. The risotto should be loose and soupy, and the rice grains very nearly cooked, but still retaining a little bite. Stir in some more stock to loosen if needed (or kettle-hot water if you've run out), then a large knob of butter and the parmesan. Season well and cover. Leave for a few minutes for the butter and cheese to be absorbed while you make the crackling.
• Tear or chop the chicken skin into small pieces, then put in a cold, dry frying pan. If the skin is quite lean (with no fatty patches) add a drizzle of oil; otherwise, the fat should render from the skin and start to sizzle. Fry for a few minutes until the skin is crisp, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
• Check the consistency of the risotto again - the rice will absorb more stock as it rests, so you may need to add more. Spoon into bowls, drizzle with truffle or olive oil, and top with some shaved parmesan and the chicken crackling.
