Ingredients | Dinner Ideas With Chicken And Rice2 cups chicken stock1 tablespoon olive oil or butter1 tablespoon minced garlic2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed2 teaspoons olive oil or butter½ large onion, minced1 cup Carnaroli or Arborio rice½ cup white wine8 ounces asparagus, finely chopped½ teaspoon dried oregano½ teaspoon dried basilsalt and freshly ground black pepper to taste½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheeseDirectionsBring chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan, then keep warm over low heat.Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cubed chicken, and continue cooking until firm and lightly browned; set aside.Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in the saucepan and cook onions until they soften and turn translucent, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, and continue cooking until the rice turns opaque, and the onion begins to brown.Stir in the wine and asparagus; cook, stirring constantly, until the wine evaporates. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in 1/3 of the hot chicken stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until all of the liquid has been absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.Stir in another 1/3 of the chicken stock and continue cooking and stirring until absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Season the risotto with oregano and basil. Pour in the remaining stock, and stir until absorbed again, 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the Parmesan cheese and chicken cubes.Making a perfect risotto will take some time and should not be rushed. The hot stock must be added in three batches, with the risotto being stirred constantly as it gently simmers. The constant stirring not only keeps the rice from burning into the pan, it also lends the dish a creamy texture.Info | Dinner Ideas With Chicken And Riceprep:
