Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 (8-oz.) pkg. whole mushrooms, quartered
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups uncooked short-grain Arborio rice
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 (14-oz.) can small artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and quartered
2 oz. (1/2 cup) shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a boil in medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low to keep broth barely simmering.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add rice; cook and stir 1 minute.
  • Carefully stir in 1 cup hot broth and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir until almost all of liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring after each addition until liquid is absorbed. Rice should be tender and creamy but still slightly firm in center.

Categories     Chicken Pasta

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound fettuccine
6 (4 ounce) thin boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
1 teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop®) or Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup diced onion
2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup 1% milk
1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken breasts with herbs, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken breasts until golden, 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet, set aside, and keep warm.
  • Add the onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits with a spatula. Pour in wine to deglaze and allow to reduce by half. Stir in Parmesan cheese and cream until sauce starts to thicken. If sauce seems too thick, add milk (or more cream) and stir to combine.
  • Place spinach in the bottom of a colander. Carefully drain pasta into colander and 'wilt' spinach with the hot pasta water. Add pasta and spinach to the sauce in the skillet, and mix to combine. Add cooked chicken back to skillet. Cook until flavors are well combined and chicken is heated through, about 1 more minute.
  • To serve, place pasta mixture in a bowl, top with a cooked chicken breast, and serve with more Parmesan cheese if desired.

Cheesy Chicken Florentine Casserole image

My boyfriend prefers to boil and shred the chicken, but I think the consistency is better when you get to cut into a piece of chicken, surrounded by cheese and a creamy spinach sauce. One of my absolute favorite meals.

Categories     Chicken Casserole

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
1 ½ pints heavy cream
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of broccoli soup
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place chicken breasts on a parchment-line baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until just light pink, 15 to 20 minutes; they will not be fully cooked.
  • While the chicken is cooking, melt 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. Add heavy cream, condensed soup, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange spinach over the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish. Pour about 1 1/2 cups sauce over the spinach, then arrange chicken breasts over top. Cover with remaining sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Return to the oven and bake until bubbly and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful chicken, and creamy risotto rice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken and vegetables. This will prevent them from steaming instead of browning.
  • Add the wine and chicken broth to the risotto in stages, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more.
  • Stir the risotto constantly while it cooks to prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Once the risotto is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese, butter, and spinach until the cheese is melted and the spinach is wilted.
  • Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Conclusion:

Chicken Florentine risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its creamy texture, flavorful chicken, and tender vegetables, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new risotto recipe, give this one a try.
