- In a saucepan, heat the stock with 400ml (14fl oz) water until simmering. Melt the butter in a separate pan set over a medium heat. Add the onion to the butter and cook for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly translucent. Pour in the wine and, once it’s absorbed, add the stock one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until each ladle of stock has been absorbed before you add another. Once half the stock has been used, stir through the sweetcorn and chicken.
- Keep adding stock as before until the rice is soft but still slightly al dente (this should take about 20 minutes). You may not need to use all the stock. Once cooked, stir in the watercress and the mozzarella.
- To serve, spoon into bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan, if using.
