INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup dry Arborio Rice (~43g)
1 cup sliced Mushrooms (~70g)
1/4 medium Onion, diced (~25g)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/3 cup grated low-fat Parmesan Cheese (~37g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~123g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~4.5g)
3 oz Cooked Chicken Breast (~85g)
1.5 cups Vegetable Broth
PREPARATION
In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer and keep it warm.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the Arborio rice, allowing it to toast lightly for about 1 minute to absorb the flavors.
Gradually ladle in the warm vegetable broth, about 1/3 cup at a time, stirring continuously. Allow each addition to be absorbed before adding the next, creating a creamy texture.
Once the rice is tender and the liquid mostly absorbed (about 18-20 minutes), stir in the cooked chicken breast pieces.
Remove the skillet from heat and blend in the grated Parmesan cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt until the risotto becomes creamy and well combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your healthy, protein-packed, creamy mushroom risotto.
