Delicious Chicken Risotto Recipe

May I present to you.. My favourite Chicken Risotto recipe! Seriously.. so so good.. I could have this everyday! And not hard to make at all. Believe me.. if I can do this, you can too =x



Ingredients


  • 2 cups arborio rice (or any 'soft' rice) *
  • 2 chicken thigh pieces (sliced)
  • 1.1 litre vegetable stock **
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 80g unsalted butter
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • Basil leaves (for garnishing)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely crushed)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 700g Swiss brown mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 ½ tbsp cumin powder

* For a proper one you can use arborio rice but it's expensive so Chef Zam recommends a cheaper alternative with any kind of soft rice such as Flora brand.
** We used a cube



Philips Pressure Cooker

All the cooking is done using ONE pot - Philips Pressure Cooker. So convenient and less stuff to wash! Amazing..




Cooking Instructions


Step 1: Using a pressure cooker, heat olive oil and 1/3 of butter.
Step 2: Add chopped garlic and cook for 20 seconds.
Step 3: Combine chopped onions and cumin powder. Allow to cook for a minute.




Step 4: Add and brown the chicken


Step 5: Add the mushrooms, then rice and water. 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. Stir well.


Step 6: Add vegetable stock and bring to boil.
Step 7: Close pressure cooker lid, bring it to pressure and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes.


Step 8: Remove from heat and release the pressure.
Step 9: Stir in remaining butter and parmesan cheese.


Step 10: Stir in basil leaves and baby spinach and it’s ready to serve.  


Optional: Sprinkle on more cheese!


Confession - Elie & I forgot about our risotto =x Luckily, we were using the Philips pressure cooker so it turned out fine! If not it would have been charcoal black already. The dish smelt and tasted amazing! In Chef Zam's style - sedap gila!
