Chicken & Shiitake Mushrooms Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Broth

   In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Cook the Risotto

   Add the Arborio rice to the skillet with the vegetables, stirring to coat the rice with oil. Pour in 1 cup of warm chicken broth and stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

5. 5

   Finish the Dish

   Once the rice is cooked, stir in the cooked chicken, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and mix in chopped parsley before serving.
