Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 (5 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
2 tsp olive oil or butter
1/2 large onion, minced
1 cup carnaroli or arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
8 oz asparagus, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Bring chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan, then keep warm over low heat.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cubed chicken, and continue cooking until firm and lightly browned; set aside.
Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in the saucepan and cook onions until they soften and turn translucent, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, and continue cooking until the rice turns opaque, and the onion begins to brown.
Stir in the wine and asparagus; cook, stirring constantly, until the wine evaporates. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in 1/3 of the hot chicken stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until all of the liquid has been absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir in another 1/3 of the chicken stock and continue cooking and stirring until absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Season the risotto with oregano and basil. Pour in the remaining stock, and stir until absorbed again, 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the Parmesan cheese and chicken cubes.
