I just made this up tonight. It's based on my ham risotto but with a few slight variations. Mmmm, mmmm! Ingredients:
3 medium chicken breasts, diced |
1 tablespoon dried thyme |
250 g button mushrooms, sliced |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 medium onion, finely sliced |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon mixed italian herbs |
1 1/2 cups arborio rice |
1 liter chicken stock |
1 (385 ml) can 2% evaporated milk |
5 sun-dried tomatoes, finely sliced |
1 cup frozen peas |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
cracked black pepper |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with thyme and cook in a non-stick pan until lightly browned. If you have a sticky pan, you might need to add a bit of oil here. 2. Set chicken aside. 3. Saute mushrooms in 1 tbsp of oil, then set aside. 4. Add remaining 2 tbsp oil to a large saucepan and cook onion, garlic and herbs until mixture is soft and aromatic. 5. Add rice and stir until coated, about 1 or 2 minutes. 6. Add chicken stock and evaporated milk and bring to the boil. 7. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is soft and mixture still a bit soupy, stirring frequently. 8. Stir in chicken, mushrooms, peas and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. 9. Remove from heat and stir through parmesan and pepper. Serve immediately. |
