Comforting Chicken, Cranberry, and Mushroom Risotto image

A hearty, nutritious, and delicious dish, perfect for sharing with anyone who is under the weather or in need of a little comforting. Short brown rice gets you your whole grain (and makes it diabetic-friendly), plus the brown kind doesn't take any longer to cook than standard white risotto rice.

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.

MUSHROOM AND CRANBERRY CHICKEN



Mushroom and Cranberry Chicken image

A standard braised chicken, with a not-so-standard tart fruit sauce whose acidity cuts through the richness of the meat to make a dish that is always a surprising hit. The sauce can also be used with roast chicken or, for that matter, pork or turkey. Any of these can be served with Kasha (page 528) or any other simple grain dish, and a salad or vegetable.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed and picked over
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil
1 chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, cut into serving pieces, or 2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken parts, trimmed of excess fat
Salt and black pepper to taste
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound button, cremini, or shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and sliced, shiitake stems discarded (or saved for stock)
1 fresh rosemary sprig, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Combine the cranberries, sugar, and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan and turn the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries are broken and the mixture is saucy, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, put the oil in a deep skillet or flameproof casserole, preferably nonstick, with a lid. Turn the heat to medium-high and wait a minute or so, until the oil is hot. Add the chicken, skin side down, and brown it well, rotating and turning the pieces as necessary, and sprinkling with salt and pepper as it cooks, 10 to 15 minutes. Finish the browning with the skin side up.
  • Stir in the garlic, onion, mushrooms, rosemary, and wine. Turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve the chicken with the mushrooms and pan juices and top with the cranberry sauce.
