Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Mushrooms

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced

Risotto

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken stock, heated
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Chicken

  • Heat oil In a large skillet over medium-high heat and season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken and cook until golden brown (about 8-10 minutes on each side). The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165°F.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate and tent to keep warm.

Mushrooms

  • Add butter and oil to the skillet over medium heat. Once sizzling, add the chopped shallots and mushrooms. Cook 8-10 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook for one more minute. Transfer to a plate.

Risotto

  • Melt butter over medium heat in the skillet.
  • Add rice and salt, coating the rice in the melted butter. Cook for 1 minute (or until slightly toasted).
  • Add wine and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed into the rice.
  • Add the hot chicken stock 1/2 cup at a time, until the stock has been absorbed. Risotto should be tender but firm and creamy.
  • Add in heavy cream.
  • Add in mushrooms and parmesan cheese, stirring until well combined.
  • Top with chicken and fresh parsley.
