Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast diced
  • 1.5 cups mushrooms sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth warm
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.25 cup dry white wine optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Sauté Pan

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and softened.
  2. Step 2: Add mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and become tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Stir in Arborio rice and toast for 1–2 minutes until the edges are translucent.
  4. Step 4: Pour in the white wine (if using) and stir until fully absorbed.
  5. Step 5: Add warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and letting the rice absorb the liquid before adding more.
  6. Step 6: Halfway through cooking, stir in the diced cooked chicken. Continue adding broth and stirring.
  7. Step 7: Once the rice is creamy and al dente (after about 20 minutes), stir in grated Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Step 8: Garnish with chopped parsley and more Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.
