Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth and keep it warm over low heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Add Mushrooms

    Stir in the chopped wild mushrooms and cook until they are tender.

  5. 5

    Add Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the Pinot Grigio and stir until the wine is mostly absorbed.

  7. 7

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the warm chicken broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more broth. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  8. 8

    Finish the Risotto

    Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and diced Taleggio cheese until melted and creamy.

  9. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
