Preparation and Cooking Time: 1 hour Difficulty: Medium Cannot be frozen
Ingredients
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
salt for seasoning
2 large skinless chicken breasts, finely diced
175g (1 cup) pasta rice

150g (1 cup) thawed frozen peas
150g (1 cup) drained whole-kernel corn
250ml LANCEWOOD® Sour Cream
Freshly ground black pepper

Method
1. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a heavy-based pot set over a medium heat. Stir in the onion, celery, garlic, carrots and a generous pinch of salt.
2. Sweat for 6 to 7 minutes until softened. Stir in the chicken, pasta rice and stock, and bring to the boil.
3. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes until the pasta rice is very tender.
4. Once the pasta rice is cooked, stir in the peas, whole-kernel corn and sour cream. Return to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into warm bowls and serve with a sprinkling of chopped parsley and some more freshly ground black pepper, if you like.
