Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups low-sodium canned or Homemade Chicken Stock
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium shallots, minced
2 cups Arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
Zest of 1 lemon (2 teaspoons), plus more for garnish (optional)
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces), plus more for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat chicken stock in a medium saucepan. Keep hot during preparation.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots, and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown. Add the rice, and stir to coat. Cook rice, stirring frequently, until well coated and grains start to appear translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine, and stir constantly until it has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 1 cup of the hot stock, and cook, stirring constantly, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Then add hot stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding the next (reserve about 1/2 cup stock for serving). Cook until rice is tender but still firm in the center (a total of 20 to 25 minutes).
  • Remove pan from heat, and stir in 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add some of the remaining stock a little at a time to reach desired consistency (it should be fairly loose). Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon zest, if desired, and Parmesan cheese.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken With Creamy Risotto image

We loved the combination of this succulent Parmesan crusted chicken and creamy risotto. What a comforting, satisfying meal. The Parmesan chicken is so juicy and tender. If you're in a pinch and don't want to make a true risotto, give this recipe a try. The tomatoes add another dimension of tangy flavor to the risotto.
