Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
2 cups arborio rice (suitable for risotto)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups of chicken broth
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Heat the chicken stock in a pan and keep it over low heat.
- In another large pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.Â
Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent. - Add the diced chicken to the pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through.Â
Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Add the arborio rice to the pan and stir well to coat the grains in the oil and butter, toasting them lightly for about 2 minutes.
- Pour the white wine into the pan and cook until the liquid is absorbed by the rice, stirring constantly.
- Begin adding the warmed chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladle.
- Continue adding the broth and stirring until the rice is cooked al dente, creamy and the grains are soft.
- When the rice is almost ready, add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix well.Â
Check seasoning and add extra salt and pepper if needed. - Remove the pan from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes so that the risotto is even creamier.
- Serve the chicken risotto hot, garnished with parsley or chopped chives, if desired.
