Best Chicken Mushroom Risotto Recipes

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large pan. Add the lardons and fry for 5 mins over a low-medium heat. Stir in the onion and fry for 10 mins more until the onion is soft but not coloured.
• Stir in the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring, for 5 mins. Stir in the risotto rice and cook over a medium heat for 2 mins until the rice has started to turn translucent.
• Pour in the wine and allow it to bubble away over the heat. Pour in a quarter of the chicken stock and set a timer for 20 mins.
• Continue cooking, stirring very frequently, topping up with a splash more stock as it gets absorbed - this is best done in three more stages, until the rice is cooked and most of the stock has been absorbed (you may not need all the stock). The texture now should be creamy, like rice pudding.
• Stir through the chicken, warm briefly, then turn off the heat. Stir through the parmesan and parsley, cover and leave to rest for 5 mins to allow more liquid to be absorbed into the rice. Season to taste and serve with extra parmesan, if you like.

• Add the wine, salt and pepper to the rice and stir frequently until the wine has been absorbed into the rice.
• Add 1/2 cup of the heated chicken stock and stir frequently until absorbed. The rice and broth should bubble gently.
• Continue to cook the rice, adding chicken stock 1/2 cup at a time and allowing the rice to absorb it before adding the next 1/2 cup.
• Cook rice this way until tender which should take about 25-30 minutes.
• Just before the last batch of stock has been absorbed into the rice, add the chicken and mushroom mixture back into the pot. Stir through.
• Add 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, the parsley and the cream and stir through.

• Make the risotto: start by frying the bacon in half the butter, then add the onion. When they are soft, add the mushrooms and continue to cook for a few mins until soft. Stir through the rice and continue as in the basic recipe. When you add the final ladle of stock, stir through the chicken to reheat. Add the chopped parsley with the Parmesan and remaining butter, leave to rest for a few mins, then stir through and serve.

• In the meantime, bring the water and vegetable stock to a low boil in a saucepan, then turn off the heat.
• Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion begins to turn golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are tender. Pour the 1% milk and the evaporated milk into the same saucepan and heat for 2 minutes. Stir in the barley.

Add the porcini, button mushrooms and thyme leaves, season, turn the heat up, then cook for another 5 mins until the mushrooms have softened.
• Add the wine to the pan, then reduce fiercely until nearly dry. Add 50ml of the porcini soaking liquid, then continue to reduce for a couple of mins until you have a syrupy sauce. Allow to cool for a couple of mins, then carefully spoon between the skin and the flesh of the chicken breasts. Can be made a day ahead and chilled, or frozen for 1 month. Defrost in fridge before cooking. Season, place on a baking tray, skin-side up, then cook in the oven for 20 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
• While the chicken is cooking, make the risotto. Heat the butter and olive oil in a saucepan. Add the celery and onion, then cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until softened. Add the rice, coat it well in the oil, then cook for 1 min. Gradually add the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring with each addition until absorbed. Continue adding the stock and stirring until the risotto is oozing and thick - about 20 mins. Stir in the thyme, lemon juice, zest and Parmesan.
• When the chicken is cooked through and golden, remove from the oven. Spoon the risotto onto serving plates, sprinkle with the extra Parmesan and top with a chicken breast. Spoon over the juices from the chicken pan, then serve immediately.

• Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a saucepan over medium heat. When shimmering, add rice. Stir until rice turns opaque. Add white wine and simmer until nearly dry. Add chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently, waiting until each addition is nearly absorbed before adding the next.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat a small amount of oil in a large heavy based pot and add the chicken. When cooked, remove from the pot and set aside.
• On a high heat, warm a little more oil to the pot and add the garlic and onion. Saute until the onion is translucent.
• Add the rice to the pot and stir to coat the grains with the oil and onion. Add wine and saffron. Stir to combine.
• Add one cup of the stock and continually stir whilst bringing to the boil.
• Turn down to a medium heat. When the liquid has almost all been absorbed add another cup of stock and keep stirring continuously.
• Keep repeating step 5 until the rice is cooked. I find that I need to use six cups of stock, but quantities can vary from person to person. The best technique (I find) is to taste the rice after four cups, and keep checking after each cup you add after that.
• When the rice is cooked and almost all liquid has been absorbed stir in the chicken and mushrooms. Remove from heat when the mushrooms are starting to look cooked.
• Slowly add in the spinach and stir until the spinach has wilted. Add pepper to taste.

Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until the grains are translucent. Stir in the turmeric, then add the wine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until reduced. Gradually add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time. Stir constantly and add more liquid as the rice absorbs each addition. Increase the heat to medium so that the liquid bubbles. Cook for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is creamy. About 3 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir in the mushrooms and cashews. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the arugula leaves on 4 individual serving plates. Remove the risotto from the heat and spoon it over the arugula. Sprinkle over the parmesan shavings and basil leaves and serve.

• Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
• Heat a frying pan on a medium heat. Add 25g butter to a frying pan, along with some olive oil (to avoid the butter burning), and once the butter melted, add the chopped chicken thighs. Cook for a few minutes, stirring, until the thighs are browned. Then put the chicken on a plate to the side.
• Put frying pan back on heat, add 25g butter and allow to melt. Add bacon and cook until starting to turn golden brown. Then add the chopped onion and cook until it's translucent and soft. Then add the sliced mushrooms and porcini mushrooms and cook for a further 8--10 minutes.

• Pour the white wine into the frying pan and simmer until totally evaporated.
• Add one ladleful of stock, and stir the rice over a low heat until liquid is absorbed. Add another ladleful of stock and continue stirring. Repeat until the rice is cooked al dente (after say 25-30 mins). It should be slightly firm but with a starchy bite in the middle. The risotto should be creamy and slightly soupy, and when you draw a wooden spoon through it, there will be a wake that holds for a few moments.
• Add the final ladle of stick and add the chicken thigh to reheat. Stir in the chopped parsley, parmesan, and 10g of butter. Leave to rest for a few minutes, then serve.
• To make the salad: Put balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and a good pinch of salt and pepper into a large salad bowl. Add the pine nuts, sliced spinach leaves, mint leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, and cucumber. Toss together and serve.

Add the chicken, 1/4 tsp of the salt, and the pepper. Cook until the chicken is done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan. In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer. 2.

Add the rice and stir until it begins to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. 3. Add the wine and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt to the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until all of the wine has been absorbed. Add about 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and cook, stirring frequently, until it has been absorbed.

Cook the rice in this way until tender, 25 to 30 minutes in all. The broth that hasn't been absorbed should be thickened by the starch from the rice. You may not need to use all the liquid, or you may need more both or some water. 4. Stir in the chicken and mushrooms, the Parmesan, and the parsley and heat through.
