Best Chicken And Strawberry Risotto Recipes

CHICKEN RISOTTO (WITH VEGETABLES)

Steps:

• Heat the chicken stock, and keep warm.
• Heat oil and butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook until clear.
• Add in the diced chicken and fry until the outside is just white (not fully cooked).
• Add bell pepper and zucchini to the chicken and cook an additional 3-4 minutes
• Add the rice. Stir to coat fully in butter/oil
• Add the hot chicken stock in - 1 ladle at a time - to the chicken and rice mixture, stirring often. Add more as the stock is absorbed.
• Repeat this until you have used almost all of the stock- it should take about 17-25 minutes.
• Continue until rice is fully cooked and the dish is creamy.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese and black pepper.

THE BEST RISOTTO

Steps:

• Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
• Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
• Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
• Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
• Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.
