Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (2) chicken breasts
  • (1 cup) Arborio rice
  • (4 cups) chicken broth
  • (1 cup) sliced mushrooms
  • (1) medium onion, diced
  • (2 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (1/2 cups) dry white wine
  • (1/2 cups) grated Parmesan cheese
  • (2 tbsp) olive oil
  • (1/2 tsp) dried thyme
  • (1/4 tsp) black pepper
  • (1/4 tsp) salt
  • (1/4 tsp) red pepper flakes
  • (1/4 cups) chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat (2 tbsp) olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.

  2. 2

    Add the (2) chicken breasts and season with (1/4 tsp) salt and (1/4 tsp) black pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add (1) medium onion and (2 cloves) garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Add (1 cup) sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they are browned.

  5. 5

    Stir in (1 cup) Arborio rice and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring to coat the rice with the oil and flavors.

  6. 6

    Pour in (1/2 cup) dry white wine and cook until it's mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Slowly add (4 cups) chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait for the liquid to be absorbed before adding the next cup. This process will take about 18-20 minutes.

  8. 8

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese, (1/2 tsp) dried thyme, and the reserved chicken, shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces.

  9. 9

    Taste and adjust seasoning with (1/4 tsp) red pepper flakes, if desired. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

  10. 10

    Serve hot, garnished with (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley.
