Lighter Creamy Mushroom Risotto with Fresh Herbs
A delicate, lighter twist on traditional risotto featuring tender Arborio rice simmered in savory vegetable broth with earthy cremini mushrooms, a hint of garlic and onion, finished with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt for creaminess and topped with lean grilled chicken breast and fresh herbs.
INGREDIENTS
50g Arborio Rice
3 oz Chicken Breast
100g Cremini Mushrooms
250ml Low-sodium Vegetable Broth
25g Chopped Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear until fully cooked. Once done, dice or slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
Add the cremini mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.
Stir in the Arborio rice, coating it well in the oil and vegetables, and toast for about 1-2 minutes until the edges become translucent.
Gradually add the low-sodium vegetable broth to the rice mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more until the rice is tender and creamy, about 18-20 minutes.
Once the risotto reaches a creamy consistency, remove the pot from heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt for a light creaminess.
Fold in the fresh herbs and gently mix in the grilled chicken pieces.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, then serve warm.
