Chicken and mushroom risotto


Description

Hey food lovers! 🍽✨Day 4 of $20 Dinners and we are diving into the comforting world of creamy risottos with my delicious Chicken and Mushroom Risotto. Perfect for those cozy nights in or when you want to impress your dinner guests! 🍚🍗🍄


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 250g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • Zest and juice of a fresh lemon 🍋
  • A lush bunch of dill 🌿
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • A pinch of salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan, grated 🧀
  • 1 tbsp butter 🧈

Instructions

  1. Pan fry those chicken thighs until they’re beautifully golden. Once done, set them aside for a moment.
  2. In the same pan, toss in the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until those mushrooms begin to feel the groove and soften up.
  3. Now, sprinkle in the Arborio rice, pour in the chicken stock, and add that lovely lemon zest. Pop that chicken back in and let it all simmer and mingle for around 15 to 20 mins. You’re looking for that rice to get soft and absorb all the flavours. Give it a quick stir every 5 minutes or so. You don’t have to stir it the whole time.
  4. As the grand finale, pop in the peas, butter, dill, tangy lemon juice, and the star of the show – Parmesan.
  5. Give it a hearty stir, ensuring the peas are warmed through and everything’s mixed well.

Serve hot and enjoy every spoonful of this creamy dream! 🥄💛
