Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup butter, divided
1 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
kosher salt to taste
6 tablespoons white wine, divided
1 ½ bunches lacinato kale
2 cups chopped roasted chicken
1 cup dried cranberries
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
2 cups short-grain brown rice
1 sprig fresh thyme
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
6 cups water
¼ cup drippings from a roast chicken

Steps:

  • Melt half the butter in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat; add mushrooms and season with salt. Cook and stir mushrooms until softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour 2 tablespoons white wine over the mushrooms; cook and stir until the wine reduces in volume, about 2 minutes more.
  • Stir kale with the mushrooms, season with salt, and place a lid on the pot; cook until the kale has wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir chicken and cranberries with the kale mixture; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and return the pot to medium-high heat.
  • Melt remaining butter in the pot; add leeks and season with salt. Saute leeks until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir rice and thyme with the leeks to coat the rice in butter; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour 2 cups chicken broth into the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until the broth has mostly absorbed into the rice and a spoon dragged through the rice leaves a trail, about 8 minutes; repeat process twice more with remaining broth.
  • Stir water and chicken drippings together in a bowl. Stir 2 cups of the mixture into the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until the broth has mostly absorbed into the rice and a spoon dragged through the rice leaves a trail, about 8 minutes; repeat process twice more with remaining mixture, cooking until the mixture is creamy and the rice is plump and remains firm to the bite. Remove and discard thyme sprig. Season rice mixture with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir about 2/3 of the kale mixture into the rice mixture; spread into a large baking dish and top with remaining kale mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND CASHEW RISOTTO RECIPE - (4/5)



Chicken, Mushroom and Cashew Risotto Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by junerodgers

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 oz butter
1 onion, chopped
9 oz. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced
1/3 cups arborio rice
1 tsp ground turmeric
2/3 cup white wine
5 1/2 cups simmering chicken stock
2 3/4 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup cashews, halved
salt and pepper
wild arugula, fresh parmesan cheese shavings, and fresh basil leaves, to garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 5 minutes. Reduce the heat, add the rice, and mix to coat in butter. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until the grains are translucent. Stir in the turmeric, then add the wine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until reduced. Gradually add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time. Stir constantly and add more liquid as the rice absorbs each addition. Increase the heat to medium so that the liquid bubbles. Cook for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is creamy. About 3 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir in the mushrooms and cashews. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the arugula leaves on 4 individual serving plates. Remove the risotto from the heat and spoon it over the arugula. Sprinkle over the parmesan shavings and basil leaves and serve.

Tips:

  • Use Arborio rice: This short-grain rice is the traditional choice for risotto because it has a high starch content, which helps create the creamy texture.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice in a little butter or oil before adding the liquid helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Add the liquid in small batches, stirring constantly, so that the rice has time to absorb it. This will help prevent the risotto from becoming too soupy.
  • Stir, stir, stir: Stirring the risotto constantly is essential for creating a creamy texture. This helps to release the starch from the rice and evenly distribute the liquid.
  • Cook until al dente: The risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite. Overcooking will make the risotto mushy.
  • Finish with butter, cheese, and herbs: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh herbs to add flavor and richness.

Conclusion:

Mushroom and chicken risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and mushrooms, and it can be easily customized to your own taste. Whether you like it simple or loaded with vegetables and herbs, risotto is a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
