Light Creamy Saffron Risotto with Lemon-Herb Chicken
Enjoy a vibrant and flavorful plate featuring tender lemon-herb chicken paired with a light, creamy saffron risotto. The dish delivers a subtle tang from lemon and aromatic notes from fresh herbs, balanced by a mild richness from a touch of low-fat Parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.33 cup Arborio Rice (uncooked)
1.5 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tbsp Light Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 small Yellow Onion
Pinch of Saffron Threads
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme)
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent.
Add the Arborio rice to the onions and toast lightly for 1-2 minutes until the edges turn translucent.
Pour in 1.5 cups of warm low-sodium chicken broth infused with a pinch of saffron, stirring continuously. Allow the rice to absorb the broth gradually over 15-18 minutes.
In a separate pan, cook the chicken breast over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly golden on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Once done, slice it into strips.
Once the risotto reaches a creamy consistency and the rice is al dente, stir in the lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh herbs.
Plate the risotto and top with the sliced lemon-herb chicken. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of herbs if desired and serve immediately.
