Easy Baked Risotto image

This recipe originally came from Donna Hay magazine, but it was such a fantastic recipe that I have used it as a base for so many other baked risottos. This is my favorite. Its a great way to get veggies into kids without them really tasting them. You can add all of these veggies, some of them, or completely different ones. Its is totally flexible. And once you have cooked your chicken you can put it in the oven and forget about it. No more standing at the stove stirring for half an hour!

Time 1h

Yield 3 big man dinners, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups arborio rice
4 1/2 cups chicken stock
500 g diced chicken breasts
200 -300 g sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup frozen peas (or fresh)
1 -2 zucchini, thinly sliced
1 cup pumpkin, finely diced
1 cup fresh Baby Spinach
1 brown onion, sliced
2 -3 garlic cloves
olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
1 -2 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Heat fry pan over medium heat. Add small amount olive oil (enough to seal chicken breast and lightly cook veggies - not too much). You can add a small amount of butter to fry pan at this time but as you need to add it later, I prefer not to.
  • Saute onions until translucent then add garlic. Add sliced chicken and brown lightly ( you can season the chicken here with whatever you would normally use to season - I actually use steak spice, which has a nice flavour). Then add your veggies (but no peas or English spinach at this stage). Remember you are not actually cooking the veggies at this point, you are just allowing them to soak up the flavour of the other ingredients.
  • In a baking dish with lid (pre-greased), add 41/2 cups chicken stock, 11/2 cups arborio rice, and the content of your pan.
  • Put it in the oven for 40 minutes and do something else for a while. Do not stir.
  • After the 40 minutes are up, stir risotto and add parmesan cheese, butter (or olive oil - it still tastes just as nice), any peas or spinach, season & stir.
  • Enjoy.
  • This is also a really nice side dish if you omit the chicken, then you'll get 6-8 serves out of it.

This recipe is a waste of time. The risotto was bland and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly and the risotto turned out terrible. The rice was undercooked and the flavors were all wrong.

This risotto was a bit too mushy for my taste. I would recommend cooking the rice for a shorter amount of time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and herbs to give it more flavor.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I've tried many baked risotto recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of white wine and parmesan cheese really takes it to the next level. I highly recommend this recipe.
