- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet or pot over high heat. Brown the chicken until lightly coloured but still pink inside, then remove it from the pan.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the garlic and onion and sauté for 1 minute. Add the zucchini and bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the risoni, oregano, stock, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt and pepper.
- Scatter the chicken and cherry tomatoes over the surface without stirring them in.
- Once the liquid simmers, transfer to the oven uncovered and bake for 15 minutes, until the risoni is just tender but still firm. Some liquid on the surface is fine.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, then garnish with feta and fresh oregano if you like, and serve.
