1 tbsp shallot

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp fresh thyme

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken broth in a small saucepan over low heat to keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced chicken breast until golden and cooked through.

• 3

  Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

• 4

  In the same skillet, add the minced shallots, garlic, and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until the mushrooms are tender and browned.

• 5

  Stir in the arborio rice and cook for 1 minute until the edges of the grains become slightly translucent.

• 6

  Add the warm chicken broth to the rice 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be fully absorbed before adding more.

• 7

  Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is creamy and tender, which should take about 18 to 20 minutes.

  Fold the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir in the parmesan cheese, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme before serving.
