Chicken Sweet Potato Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Combine broth and 3 cups water in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large, straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Cook chicken, flipping once, until golden brown in places and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet. Add squash in a single layer, season with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until browned in places and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet. Add onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to skillet and melt, then add rice and cook, stirring a few times, until translucent and nutty, about 1 minute.
• Add wine to skillet and boil, scrapping browned bits from bottom of pan, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Ladle enough broth into skillet to just cover rice. Simmer until almost evaporated, stirring constantly, and adding more broth, one ladleful at a time, until rice is creamy but still very al dente, 18 to 20 minutes (you will still have some broth remaining in saucepan). Stir in asparagus and a ladleful of broth. Continue cooking and stirring constantly until rice is al dente and asparagus is crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Thinly slice chicken and return to skillet with accumulated juices, squash, and cheese, gently stirring to combine. Stir in more broth, a little at a time, until risotto is creamy and sauce evenly coats asparagus and chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately topped with more cheese.

Steps:

• Spray 3-quart nonstick saucepan with cooking spray. Heat wine to boiling in saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in wine 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Stir in rice. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Stir in sweet potato and 1/2 cup of the broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is completely absorbed. Stir in an additional 1/2 cup broth. Continue cooking about 20 minutes, stirring constantly and adding broth 1/2 cup at a time after previous additions have been absorbed, until rice is creamy and just tender; remove from heat.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C. Put the sweet potato in a mixing bowl, coat in the olive oil, add the garlic and mix until the sweet potato is coated in garlicy oil. Put on a baking tray and in the oven for 20 mins. When this is done, leave on the side until needed.
• Meanwhile, put some oil in a frying pan on a medium/high heat and quick fry the chicken till a crust appears. Take off the heat and put on a plate to one side. Put the chicken stock in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
• Put the frying pan back over a low heat and add the butter till bubbling. Fry the leeks and tarragon over the low heat until soft. Don't allow to colour. This should take about 10 mins. Then add the rice and stir to coat the grains in the butter. Fry for a minute or two more then add the White Wine. Bring the flame up to a medium heat and stir until the wine has nearly evaporated.
• Add the chicken to the rice. Now ladle a small of amount (about 2 ladles worth) of the simmering stock into the pan. Stir occasionally until the fluid has nearly evaporated. Repeat for around 20-25 mins until the rice is translucent, cooked but has a bite.
• Turn off the heat. Season, grate the Parmesan onto the Risotto and add the cooked sweet potato. Stir until the cheese has melted and serve in bowls.
