Looking for a comforting and hearty meal to warm you up? Try this delectable Chicken and Mushroom Risotto recipe!
Creamy Arborio rice combined with tender chicken and flavorful mushrooms creates the ultimate comfort food experience.
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 8 ounces mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Season the diced chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. In a large saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat until simmering. Reduce the heat to low to keep it warm.
3. In a separate large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
5. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is slightly toasted.
6. Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine has been absorbed by the rice.
7. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
8. Begin adding the warm chicken broth to the skillet, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more.
9. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and tender, about 20-25 minutes.
10. Once the risotto is cooked to your desired consistency, stir in the cooked chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, and butter. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
11. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
Serve the Chicken and Mushroom Risotto hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy this comforting dish with your loved ones!
