CHICKEN RISOTTO

The creaminess of risotto makes it an instant comfort food, but the addition of sautéed summer squash and gently cooked, pencil-thin asparagus, and chicken drive up the nutritional value too.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (3/4 pounds), butterflied and separated into cutlets
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 medium yellow squash (8 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (about 2 cups)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/4 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 ounces thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (1 1/2 cups)
2 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Parmesan (packed 1/2 cup), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Combine broth and 3 cups water in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large, straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Cook chicken, flipping once, until golden brown in places and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet. Add squash in a single layer, season with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until browned in places and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet. Add onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to skillet and melt, then add rice and cook, stirring a few times, until translucent and nutty, about 1 minute.
  • Add wine to skillet and boil, scrapping browned bits from bottom of pan, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Ladle enough broth into skillet to just cover rice. Simmer until almost evaporated, stirring constantly, and adding more broth, one ladleful at a time, until rice is creamy but still very al dente, 18 to 20 minutes (you will still have some broth remaining in saucepan). Stir in asparagus and a ladleful of broth. Continue cooking and stirring constantly until rice is al dente and asparagus is crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Thinly slice chicken and return to skillet with accumulated juices, squash, and cheese, gently stirring to combine. Stir in more broth, a little at a time, until risotto is creamy and sauce evenly coats asparagus and chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately topped with more cheese.

CHICKEN " SOUP " RISOTTO STYLE!



Chicken

Chicken Risotto. A yummy creamy ( as in texture but has no cream ) chicken, rice and veggie concoction I made last night for dinner. However, I used sushi rice instead of the typical italian arborio- but it absorbs just as much!! Good stuff. As for taste...think of your favorite chicken soup recipe...but risotto syle. If you use arborio rice you may need to increase liquid and cooking time...it takes a little longer to cook than sushi rice (approx. 5-10 mins..) read the instructions on your package of arborio rice to get an idea.

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken breasts or 6 chicken thighs, cubed
2 medium sized onions, diced
5 medium carrots, cut the way you want

2 tablespoons concentrated chicken bouillon

1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • Add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add veggies, herbs, and salt again for flavor and to sweat the veggies
  • Deglaze the pan if it`s sticking, with 1/2 of water or stock. Get all the bits off the bottom -- that`s flavor!
  • Add chicken stock, water, bouillion and worchestershire sauce- incorporate well.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
  • Once the carrots are tender or even 15 mins before the carrots are done, add the rice.
  • Let boil for a minute or two, then reduce the heat and cover -- keep an eye on it and stir when needed.
  • It`s ready when the liquid has been absorbed by the rice and you have a creamy consistency -- and of course when the rice is tender!LOL.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the soup will be. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken.
  • Don't skimp on the broth. Broth is the backbone of the soup, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use store-bought broth, but it's easy to make your own. Simply simmer chicken bones or carcasses in water with vegetables and herbs.
  • Cook the rice properly. Risotto is a rice dish, so it's important to cook the rice correctly. Follow the instructions in the recipe carefully to ensure that the rice is cooked through but still has a slight bite.
  • Add vegetables and protein. Vegetables and protein add flavor and texture to the soup. You can use any vegetables you like, but some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms. For protein, you can use chicken, beef, or seafood.
  • Season to taste. Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.

Conclusion:

Chicken risotto soup is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. So next time you're looking for a warm and satisfying meal, give chicken risotto soup a try.
