Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken pieces for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, onion powder and paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the risoni and the chicken stock liquid and stir.
Cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes (or until the risoni is almost cooked).
Stir through the cream, Dijon mustard, baby spinach leaves, grated parmesan cheese and butter.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve with extra grated parmesan cheese.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Risoni pasta is also referred to as orzo.
Stir occasionally - to prevent the risoni from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
The risoni can become overcooked quickly - therefore cook until almost ready, and then by the time you stir through the spinach and parmesan it will be cooked to perfection!
Don't worry if the dish is looking runny - the risoni will continue to absorb the sauce as it sits.
Storing - store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2 days.
Freezing - freeze for up to 1 month, then reheat well before consuming.
