Ingredients
- 500g Barossa Fine Foods chicken thighs
- 1 x 300g ‘Thistle Be Good’ Wild Mushroom Risotto
- Olive oil
- 200g Barossa Fine Foods pancetta, sliced
- 200g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced

- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tbsp tarragon, finely chopped
- Extra tarragon sprigs, to garnish
- 150g Barossa Valley feta

Method
- To prepare the risotto, add the risotto and 1 tbsp olive oil to a saucepan with 800ml boiling water. Cover and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, cover and stand for 5 minutes, then stir well before serving.
- For the chicken, heat a large frypan over high heat. Drizzle the chicken thighs with olive oil and season with sea salt. Place into the pan and cook until golden brown on the first side. Reduce the heat slightly, turn the chicken thighs over and continue cooking until cooked through. Remove from the pan, set aside and keep warm.
- Add the pancetta to the pan and cook until browned and crispy. Add the mushrooms and butter, then cook for a few minutes. Season with sea salt, cracked black pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice and the chopped tarragon.
- To serve, spoon the risotto onto plates and top with the chicken thighs, mushrooms and pancetta. Crumble over the feta and drizzle with Currawong truffle oil. Garnish with a sprig of tarragon.
