Ma Cuisine

This time,I have decided to try chicken risotto with white wine and parmesan cheese.I remember the recipe from the times when I was working at a restaurant and here I ´ve changed it a bit myself.Its perfect for a special occasion,such as dinner in two or if you have guests ;)

So let´s start with a list of Ingredients:

* 300g round grain rice(Arbolio)
* 500g chicken breasts
* 1 onion
* 100-150g mushrooms/half of zucchini
 (its up to you,which one you prefer)
* 2 tbl. spoons of butter
* 100 ml white wine
* 100 ml cream
* 750 ml chicken broth
* 50g parmesan cheese
* 1 tbl. spoon of basilica
* 1 teaspoon of black pepper
* salt

Step by step:

1. First,we prepare a chicken broth-easy way is to boil water in a kettle and pour in pot,then stir
 in cube of bouillon.Set aside
2. Let melt butter in a smaller pot,then add rice and fry for a few minutes stirring constantly,after rice get
 white,pour-in all wine and let it absorb.Then add small amount of broth so rice is all covered with  liquid.Continue by adding the rest of the broth until rice is ´aldente´(don´t necessary need to use all
 broth)




3. Cut onion into small pieces,fry in a wok pan until gets golden(you can help by adding a teaspoon
 of sugar,onion get lovely consistence)





4.  After onion is ready,stir-in chicken breasts,which you cut before
 into a bigger peaces.





5. Prepare the mushrooms or zucchini,you can cut them into larger pieces,like on the picture:) and add in,
  when chicken is nicely done(don´t worry to try one piece)Season with black pepper and basilica,and be
  careful to not overcook the zucchini(it doesn´t taste good)





6. In the end,low the heat and add the prepared rice-little by little.Maybe you ´ll find out that its not necessary to use all  of it.Stir carefully and pour-in cream so it gets lovely,creamy consistence.Don´t overcook,just make sure that cream get boiled.Then turn-off the heat and sprinkle with parmesan cheese,set aside and cover for  about 2  minutes before serving.Be careful with salt,you won´t need much since broth and parmesan are  both salty ;)


 Ta daaa,its ready!You can sprinkle it with chive or green onion if you like and some more parmesan cheese.
 Enjoy!
