INGREDIENTS

3.75 oz boneless skinless chicken breast

0.25 cup arborio rice

1 cup cremini mushrooms

1.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and set aside.

• 3

  In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and onions are translucent.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic and arborio rice to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice grains.

• 5

  Begin adding the chicken broth 0.5 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding the next portion.

• 6

  Continue this process until the rice is tender and creamy, which should take about 18-20 minutes.

• 7

  Stir the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the parmesan cheese, remaining salt, and pepper.

• 8

  Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while warm.
