A creamy, comforting risotto with chicken, chestnut mushrooms, and parmesan. Made lighter by using less butter and more stock — still utterly delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 200g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 200g arborio rice
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 100ml dry white wine
  • 800ml hot chicken stock
  • 30g parmesan, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh thyme and parsley
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a wide pan. Cook chicken until golden. Remove.

  2. 2

    Fry onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add rice and stir to coat. Pour in wine and stir until absorbed.

  4. 4

    Add stock one ladle at a time, stirring constantly, until each is absorbed (about 20 minutes).

  5. 5

    Return chicken. Stir in parmesan. Season well.

  6. 6

    Serve garnished with fresh herbs.

Tip: Stirring risotto releases starch from the rice, creating a naturally creamy texture without heavy cream.
