INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup arborio rice

1 cup cherry tomatoes

1.25 cup chicken bone broth

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

5 leaves fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and toss the cherry tomatoes with a tiny splash of water and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet; roast for 15 minutes until they blister and burst.

• 2

  Season the chicken breast with half of the salt and pepper, then sear in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, approximately 6 minutes per side. Set aside to rest, then slice into strips.

• 3

  In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the finely diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and aromatic.

• 4

  Add the dry arborio rice to the pan and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the edges of the grains become translucent.

• 5

  Begin adding the chicken bone broth 0.25 cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to be fully absorbed before adding the next ladle.

• 6

  Once the rice is tender and the mixture is naturally creamy, stir in the nutritional yeast, roasted tomatoes, and the remaining salt and pepper.

• 7

  Fold in the sliced chicken and hand-torn fresh basil leaves just before serving to maintain their bright color and flavor.
