Print this Recipe

prep: 20 min
cook: 30 min


   2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
   1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
   1 cup cubed cooked chicken
   1 cup uncooked Arborio or other short-grain rice
   6 cups ready-to-serve chicken broth
   1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
   3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
   1 package (10 ounces) frozen green peas
   Freshly grated parmesan cheese


1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onion in oil, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent.

2. Stir in chicken and rice. Cook 1 minute over medium heat, stirring frequently, until rice begins to brown. Pour 1/2 cup of the broth over rice mixture. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue cooking 15 to 20 minutes, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and stirring frequently, until rice is creamy and almost tender and 3 cups broth have been used.

3. Stir in remaining 3 cups broth, the mint, parsley and frozen peas. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes or until hot. Serve with cheese.

Arborio is an Italian-grown rice and its high starch content gives risotto its creamy texture. Like pasta, it is cooked until al dente, meaning "to the tooth" so it isn't overcooked and soft.
