This is a recipe that you can’t stop at only one, I have been making this over and over again just because my kids love eating it. They can be quite fussy and if I have a chance that they like something healthy I tend to stick with it. It tastes great, kids loved it especially the chicken and rice mixed together. They enjoyed the different type of rice as well, not just the normal rice and would definitely recommend MAGGI One Pan to anyone that wants a quick and easy meal.

I have said it before and I am saying it again we love Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto. We are still cooking it for the family and each time I see it on special at the supermarket I buy a couple so I always have it in stock in our house. Great for a quick dinner prep and off we go...
Really find it good value for money and a dinner that we all enjoy especially because its rice and chicken but it also has those vegies that are really good for your body.
I love risottos but I usually am not too successful with making them myself - for a long time I gave up trying and just having plain rice as a side dish. Maggi 1 pan Risotto was really quick and easy, I will be buying again, would like to try the Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Risotto.
I love risotto so much! It is such a hit in our house. These recipe bases add so much creativity to my meals and the kids all love. They give me so many ideas and they are so tasty! Highly recommend them to anyone that asks for meal ideas. Thanks so much mouths of mums for offering these reviews to make our decisions easier as a busy mum! I use this recipe base almost weekly. =D
We really enjoyed maggi one pan chicken, pumpkin and baby spinach risotto. It has amazing flavour. Even my kids enjoyed it. The love any risotto so it was easy to get them to eat it and the veggies in it. We will definitely be buying again. Even my 10 month old ate it with us.
Being pregnant all I have been wanting is chicken and rice, rice and chicken and this is the recipe I love, it fills me, it gives me the cravings that I need and desire, it makes me feel satisfied and that is awesome. I have been cooking this twice a week for the last 3-4 weeks, my family don't mind cause they like their chicken and rice as well. Its a Win Win all round! Also Coles is liking it I think cause I keep buying the sachets from them :)
Made this again last night for dinner, my eldest daughter had seconds and thirds and we made twice the amount so we had left overs and had for dinner again tonight and again she had seconds again tonight. Definitely a big fan of this meal and love the fact that its healthy and tastes awesome!
Love that you can chuck it all in and let it cook itself, quick, easy and great for parents who always are busy like myself. Definitely a meal that you can cook over and over and over again and the kiddies will still love it! Every time we have it, they always ask for seconds and thirds and even left overs
Have made this risotto quite a few times now, my family have become a fan of this and my kids will actually eat it and ask for seconds (rare). It's great finding a recipe that is quick and easy to make and the family loves. Good for myself when I have finished work and the last thing on my mind is to cook dinner and then I think oh hang on a second risotto is easy, quick and very yummy, hmmm I might cook this!
I love risotto yet it seems to take ages to make but now I have found the most easy and quick to make recipe for risotto. I made double for work meals and it tasted better re heated. Xxx. I was unsure about freezing this recipe yet the ingredients kept well for a week.I placed it in zip top plastic bag and froze . They virtually took a up no space.

So easy to use, Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto gives you a tasty meal ready in under thirty minutes.
Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto is one of my kids favourite dinners, I'm guaranteed of no complaints we I serve this up. Hubby and I also enjoy the taste of Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto, which is saying cosidering thar my hubby is not a huge fan of risotto!
For a quick, easy and delicious meal that requires minimal preparation, Maggi One Pan, gives you the right results!
Having a recipe that has all its goodness in one is great, the rice tastes wonderful and fills up your belly and the mixture of the recipe base gives it that extra flavouring, you can really just have the sauce and risotto together and your toddlers would love the flavour. But with all the ingredients put together is an amazing dish, filled with flavours that jumps out of your mouth. The mixture of Chicken, Pumpkin, baby spinach and Risotto rice blended together is perfect, wouldn't want it any other way. Definitely great for large families as it does go a long way.

Wow : I followed Nikki's directions and my risotto turn out perfect. This is truly a one pot wonder meal, quick and delicious and no sink or bench top full of dirty bowls and dishes. I loved the freshness of the dish and the combination of ingredients were perfectly matched.
MAGGI thanks a bunch for simplifying a dish I have always liked the sound of, but never tried. The ingredients were in my fridge and it took no time to prepare, and even less time to eat! The kids really enjoyed it, and there was enough left over for school lunches - yep, my kids like cold leftovers as do I !!! This is one we will add to the pantry and family staple dishes. Thanks again Maggi
Unfortunately the kids didn't love this meal. I cooked it exactly as per the instructions. One of our children, I must admit, doesn't like rice so I never expected to change that, but the other two kids were calling it boring and wanted cereal instead - lol.
My hubby and I didn't really love it and both agreed to try something else instead next time.
The ease of cooking was definitely there though.
The flavours weren't offensive - just not as delicious as hoped!
My husband and I loved this, my daughters was a little fussy. It was super easy and it tasted very yummy. It was a flavour mix I wouldn't usually put together but it worked well and was tasty for something different. Will definitely buy again and have recommended to friends. I like the one pan convenience, much better than using every pan in the kitchen
Being pregnant all I have been wanting is chicken and rice, rice and chicken and this is the recipe I love, it fills me, it gives me the cravings that I need and desire, it makes me feel satisfied and that is awesome.

We have had this risotto a few times at home and I love how it is so quick and easy to make. Plus it tastes delicious! I'm not a big pumpkin or spinach fan so we often use this risotto base with just the chicken, and perhaps some beans. Once I added bacon and it still tasted yummy!
I made this for my family and by family I mean 6 adults!!! My husband and I live with my parents and we also have my brother and his wife living with us atm as they are renovating. Plus my 15 month old daughter and their 11 month old son!!
I brought 2 packets and just doubled all the ingredients, it was so easy to use and loved that you only need one pan!!! Everyone loved the taste and even had seconds! The only thing I would change is there wasn't much chicken in it even when doubling the ingredients. My daughter ate all of hers (but she's not really a fussy eater!) I would definitely make this again as it was really easy and tasty but I'll use more chicken

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
It’s at a good price point for families on a tight budget and is “cleaner” but missing the mark with Canola oil . I wouldn’t be running to a supermarket for it but it’s alot better than other varieties on the market. It’s nice to see supermarkets are at least trying and listening
Most breads are dairy free anyway so I am surprised by this article. Additive free is a bonus. I always go for a grain bread nowadays and have the kids eating it too so I’ll be sticking with that. It’s always great to have variety out there though for the ones that need it.
We bought this bread from the supermarket and it is a good price for bread which of course can indeed be expensive. Each slice is a good size and our favourite meal to create and eat with this bread is cheese toasties. The bread holds and is good to eat.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go

A Great Meal
Within 30 minutes, you can a healthy and flavoursome meal on the table ready in time for dinner.
The combination of pumpkin and spinach is a winner for me, and the rest of the family seem to enjoy this too!
Thank you Maggi for a great dish, in less time and with less washing!

Easy to use and very tasty!!
The last thing you need is a intense and million step process.
Its easy to remember and after a few times you even remember what components you need without having to check your list.
We enjoyed more then the kids, Baby Sam just decided to squish the spinach in his high chair! But most bowls were empty, and i went back for seconds!

I would definitely make this again as it was really easy and tasty but I'll use more chicken
