Method
step 1
Heat the oil in a shallow flameproof casserole or deep frying pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken and brown for 3 mins on each side. Remove to a plate.
step 2
Finely chop the onion, shallot or spring onions and fry in the pan with a pinch of salt until soft, about 8 mins. Finely grate in the garlic, and fry for a minute more.
step 3
Stir through the rice to coat in the chicken fat. Pour in the wine and stir until absorbed. Slice the chicken and stir it back into the pan.
step 4
Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, until the rice is tender, creamy and the consistency of loose porridge, about 15 mins.
step 5
Stir through the sweetcorn and simmer for 3 mins to warm through. Remove from the heat. Add the miso and butter, and finely grate over the parmesan. Squeeze over the lemon juice, stir and season well.
