Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups arborio rice
4 cups chicken stock, hot
1 cup white wine
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 chicken breasts (Approx. 500g)
2 cups pumpkin, chopped into 1 - 2cm cubes, depending on preference
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Bake the pumpkin pieces in a 180C oven for 15 minutes and put aside.
  • Cook the chicken breasts (barbecue, grill, fry pan, poach, oven) until just cooked through and put aside. After chicken has cooled a little, cut into 1 - 2 cm cubes depending on preference. (Alternatively, you can cut into cubes first and then stir-fry).
  • While doing steps 1 and 2, put the oil in a large saucepan on medium/hot and when heated, put the onions and garlic in and cook until onions begin to get soft - about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir until the grains start to swell and burst then reduce heat to low and add the cup of white wine.
  • Stir over low heat until the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Add, say, half a cup of the hot stock and keep stirring while the rice absorbs it.
  • Keep adding stock in this way, stirring constantly.
  • Just as the final liquid is being absorbed and rice is cooked (about 20 - 25 minutes), add the cooked cubed chicken and pumpkin and gently stir.
  • Remove from heat, stir in grated parmesan cheese, (add freshly ground black pepper if you like) and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out mushy. I think I added too much liquid.

This risotto was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found the chicken to be a bit dry. I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The risotto was a bit too runny for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin, but this risotto changed my mind. The pumpkin flavor was subtle and complemented the chicken and vegetables perfectly.
