Herby chicken and lemon rice

Method

1. Heat the olive in large saucepan and cook the chopped onion for about 5-6 minutes, until beginning to soften. Stir in the cubed pancetta and cook for a further 5 minutes, until sizzling and golden. Stir in the rosemary and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
2. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat in the juices. Strain the broth from the chicken into the pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes until the rice has absorbed nearly all the liquid. Add the chicken and beans and heat for a further 5 minutes, until the rice is cooked.
3. Flavour with the lemon zest and juice and the parsley. Season with a little salt and plenty of black pepper. Remove from the heat and spoon into warmed serving bowls or plates. Serve with the grated Parmesan for everyone to sprinkle over.
