Chicken Risotto

Published on October 24, 2018 (Updated February 22nd, 2021) in • Mains

A recipe for a tasty chicken risotto. Risotto has a lengthy stirring time for the rice to absorb all the liquids.

However, other than stirring for 20 minutes, this rich and creamy risotto is not difficult to make and has just 9 ingredients.

The chicken, onion and mushrooms are cooked in a frypan with most of the butter. Then they are transferred to a saucepan.

Meanwhile in another saucepan the stock is heated up and left to simmer away.

The rice is added to the saucepan with the chicken, onion, mushrooms and butter and cooked for two minutes so that the rice combines with the butter.

The wine and then chicken stock is slowly added while stirring over 20 minutes.

While cooking, stirring enough will ensure the bottom of the saucepan doesn’t burn.

Finish the dish by removing from heat and adding parmesan and remaining butter, then serve with parsley, optionally.
