Mushroom Asparagus Risotto With Crisped Chicken image

I got this recipe from Food and Drink Magazine. It was created by Marilyn Bentz-Crowley, who says "This risotto is a delicious yin-yang combination of creamy rice and crispy chicken." An apt description! I love risotto :)

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup sweet onion, such as Vidalia, finely diced
1 1/3 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces cremini mushrooms or 4 ounces button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 lb fresh asparagus, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon butter
2 cups shredded cold cooked chicken
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat broth in a small saucepan, or in microwave, until just boiling. Keep hot over low heat.
  • Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add chopped onion; stir 3 to 5 minutes or until transparent. Then add rice all at once; stir 2 to 3 minutes or until coated and edges are becoming transparent. Add wine; stir until absorbed.
  • Continue to slowly add 1/2 cup hot broth at a time; stir frequently with a wooden spoon until each is absorbed. This takes about 25 minutes. The rice ultimately is creamy and tender to the bite. Taste; add salt as needed.
  • Add mushrooms and asparagus. Cover, turn heat to low and heat risotto for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until asparagus is cooked to your liking. Stir in Parmesan.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shredded chicken; sauté 5 to 7 minutes or until browned and crispy in spots.
  • Heap risotto into warmed shallow soup bowl or deep plates. Add a stack of chicken in centre of risotto; sprinkle parsley over chicken. Serve with additional grated cheese.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I would cook it for less time next time.

The risotto was a bit too creamy for my taste. I think I would use less chicken broth next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor.
