Healthy Creamy Mushroom Risotto
Savor a nourishing twist on traditional risotto, featuring tender slices of grilled chicken breast nestled amongst creamy Arborio rice infused with earthy cremini mushrooms, aromatic garlic, and finely chopped yellow onions. Finished with a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, this dish delivers comforting creaminess and a well-balanced, satisfying flavor profile.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz grilled chicken breast
0.33 cup dry Arborio rice (approx. 70g)
1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
0.25 cup chopped yellow onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1.5 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and warm the chicken broth; keep it at a gentle simmer.
In a separate large skillet or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced cremini mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms begin to soften and release their juices.
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and toast it for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice becomes slightly translucent at the edges.
Begin adding the warm chicken broth to the rice gradually, about 1/3 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more.
Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice reaches a creamy consistency and is cooked al dente.
While the risotto is coming together, slice the grilled chicken breast into strips.
Once the risotto is creamy and fully cooked, gently fold in the sliced chicken.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your wholesome, balanced bowl of creamy mushroom risotto.
