Method

  • step 1

    Heat the butter in a large pan over a gentle heat and add the onion. Cook for 10 mins until softened, then stir in the thyme leaves and mushrooms. Cook for 5 mins, sprinkle in the rice and stir to coat in the mixture.

  • step 2

    Ladle in a quarter of the stock and continue cooking, stirring occasionally and topping up with more stock as it absorbs (you may not need all the stock).

  • step 3

    When most of the stock has been absorbed and the rice is nearly cooked, add the chicken and stir to warm through. Season well and stir in the parmesan and parsley. Serve scattered with extra parmesan, if you like.

This is only a 1 pot recipe when you already have cooked chicken who has cooked chicken laying about. I have been mislead, dishonoured and betrayed. As a result of this utter violation - I will no longer pay my TV licence. Scum!

The risotto came out so buttery and tender.…

Could this be popped in the freezer? There's only me that likes risotto

Made this for the first time this evening - absolutely delicious, and so simple to make! Also made a vegetarian version for my daughter using a meat free chicken alternative, veg stock and vegetarian Parmesan-style cheese - an absolute hit!

There's a great vegetarian risotto recipe in ainsley Harriet's. Mediterranean cookbook. Uses chesnuts. highly recommended. Or I think this recipe would be fine without the chicken instead of meat free chicken
