Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup Arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine, (optional)
2 to 2 1/4 cups hot water
1/2 cup homemade or low sodium canned chicken stock
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In an ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring to coat the grains with oil, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the wine and cook until it has completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, the stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, transfer to the oven, and bake, until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup water (the consistency of the risotto should be creamy), the butter, cheese, and parsley. Serve immediately.

Roasted Chicken with Risotto and Caramelized Onions image

Moist roasted chicken gets the royal treatment with caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar and creamy risotto. You may choose to roast your own chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from a grocery store. A little grated cheese such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano before serving is also a nice touch.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 ½ cups uncooked Arborio rice
¼ cup dry white wine
7 cups hot chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions and saute for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the onions are a dark golden brown. Remove from heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar and set aside.

Continue in this manner until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through.
  • Use a good quality risotto rice. Arborio rice is a good choice because it holds its shape well and has a creamy texture.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and patiently. Stirring constantly will help the rice release its starch and create a creamy sauce.
  • Add the cheese at the end of cooking. This will help prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and creamy.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken and risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in your own home.
