This microwave version of risotto is a little quicker to prepare than the traditional recipe because it doesn't have to be continually stirred. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons light stick butter |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 cup arborio rice |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic |
3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms |
2 cups chopped skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken |
1 cup frozen green peas |
1/2 cup chopped green onions |
4 slices center-cut bacon |
1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place butter and oil in an 8-inch square baking dish; microwave at HIGH 30 seconds. Stir in rice, onion, and garlic. Microwave at HIGH 2 minutes, stirring once. Stir in chicken broth; microwave at HIGH 6 minutes, stirring once. Stir in mushrooms; microwave at HIGH 6 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, and green onions; microwave at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
2. Microwave bacon at HIGH for 2 minutes or until crisp. Crumble and add to risotto. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
