- ¼tspfresh ground black pepper
- 5½cupschicken broth,or homemade stock, canned, low sodium
- 1tbspcooking oil

- 1½cupsArborio rice
- ½cupdry white wine
- ½cupParmesan cheese,grated
- 2tbspfresh parsley,chopped
Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat the butter over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are browned.
-
Add the chicken, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the chicken is just done.
-
Remove the mixture from the pan. In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer.
-
In the large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
-
Add the rice and stir for about 2 minutes until it begins to turn opaque.
-
Add the wine and the remaining ¾ teaspoon salt to the rice. Cook, stirring frequently until all of the wine has been absorbed.
-
Add about ½ cup of the simmering broth 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 ½ cup at a time and allowing the rice to absorb it before adding the next ½ 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. Adjust the broth or water as needed.
-
Stir in the chicken and mushrooms, the Parmesan and the parsley and heat through. Serve the risotto with additional Parmesan.
