Grilled Chicken Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
• Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
• Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
• Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
• Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring broth and water to a simmer; keep hot. In another large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until tender. Add rice; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until rice is coated., Stir in wine and lemon juice. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer; cook and stir until wine mixture is absorbed. Add hot broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring until broth has been absorbed after each addition, until rice is tender but firm to the bite and risotto is creamy., Stir in chicken, cheese, parsley, salt, pepper and remaining butter; heat through. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the chicken thighs on a sheet pan and set aside.
• Whisk together the lime zest and juice, mayonnaise, ginger, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush the lime-ginger mayo all over the chicken thighs with a pastry brush. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high. Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees F, 12 to 16 minutes. (Cook the chicken covered if you're using an outdoor grill.) Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• To serve, spoon the Carrot Risotto onto a platter (garnish as described below), then top with the grilled chicken and garnish with thinly sliced lime.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Cook the butter until it is completely melted and just starts to turn golden-brown, then add the diced carrots and toss to coat in the butter. Cook the carrots until they begin to soften and caramelize slightly, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the vegetable broth and wine. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has reduced by half and the carrots are tender. Lower the heat to medium and stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the pecorino (reserve the remaining cheese for garnish). Stir until the cheese is completely combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the parsley and reserved cheese just before serving. Makes 4 servings.

Steps:

• 1 - Cook risotto as package directs. 2 - Meanwhile, heat stovetop grill pan. Brush zucchini and chicken with oil, then sprinkle with pepper. 3 - Grill zucchini 7 to 9 minutes and chicken 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until zucchini is tender and chicken is cooked through. 4 - Remove chicken and zucchini to cutting board; cut into bite-size pieces. 5 - When risotto is finished cooking, stir in peas, tomato, chicken and zucchini; remove from heat.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large pan. Add the lardons and fry for 5 mins over a low-medium heat. Stir in the onion and fry for 10 mins more until the onion is soft but not coloured.
• Stir in the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring, for 5 mins. Stir in the risotto rice and cook over a medium heat for 2 mins until the rice has started to turn translucent.
• Pour in the wine and allow it to bubble away over the heat. Pour in a quarter of the chicken stock and set a timer for 20 mins.
• Continue cooking, stirring very frequently, topping up with a splash more stock as it gets absorbed - this is best done in three more stages, until the rice is cooked and most of the stock has been absorbed (you may not need all the stock). The texture now should be creamy, like rice pudding.
• Stir through the chicken, warm briefly, then turn off the heat. Stir through the parmesan and parsley, cover and leave to rest for 5 mins to allow more liquid to be absorbed into the rice. Season to taste and serve with extra parmesan, if you like.
