Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups
Aborio Rice
-
32 ounces
Chicken Broth (do not buy low sodium)
-
4 tablespoons
Unsalted Butter
-
1/3 cup
Grated Parmesan
-
1 1/2 cups
Frozen Green Peas
-
1 pound
Thinly Sliced Chicken Breasts
-
1/2
Sweet Onion (such as Vidalia)
-
10 ounces
White Button Mushrooms
-
1 cup
Dry White Wine, such as Vermouth
Directions
-
Wash mushrooms carefully and then slice into 1/4 inch slices. Then chop the onion.
-
Heat a large stock pot over a medium flame. Add 2 TB butter and add the mushrooms and onion.
-
As the mushrooms and onion are cooking, slice the chicken into bite sized pieces.
-
Cook until the mushrooms are lightly brown and the onion is translucent and caramelized. When done, remove from the pot, leaving the liquid behind.
-
Add the chicken to the pot along with 1 TB of butter. Cook until done, then remove from the pot leaving the liquid behind.
-
Add the remaining 1 TB of butter to the pot along with the rice. Stir well, making sure that the rice doesn't stick. It it begins to, add 1 cup of chicken broth.
-
Continue to cook over medium heat stirring often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
-
Just as the liquid is just about absorbed, add another cup of chicken broth. Repeat until all broth is gone - about 25 minutes.
-
Add the peas, chicken, mushrooms, and onion back into the rice, stirring it in until they are heated all the way through.
-
Then, add the Parmesan and stir so it is evenly distributed.
-
Serve immediately.
