Ingredients
- 1 Litre Chicken Collagen Soup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 500g mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 600g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 ½ cups arborio/japanese shortgrain rice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (have more to add separately according to preference)
Directions
- Heat the butter over moderate heat in a large pot and add mushrooms once butter is melted. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes.
- In the same pot, add the chicken, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Cook until the chicken is just done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pot.
- In a medium saucepan, add Chicken Collagen Soup and bring it to a simmer.
- In the large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In the same large pot, add the rice and stir until it begins to turn opaque, about 2 minutes.
- 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 to the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until it has been absorbed. The rice and broth should bubble gently; adjust the heat as needed.
- Continue cooking the rice, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and allowing the rice to absorb it before adding the next 1/2 cup. 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 broth or some water.
- Stir in the chicken and mushrooms, the Parmesan, and the parsley and heat through. Serve the risotto with additional Parmesan on the side.
