Halal Chicken and Mushroom Risotto

Halal Chicken and Mushroom Risotto is a creamy, comforting dish that combines tender chicken pieces with earthy mushrooms and Arborio rice, creating a delightful balance of flavors. Perfect for a cozy dinner, this risotto is rich and satisfying while adhering to Halal dietary guidelines.

Ingredients

• Arborio rice - 150 grams
• Halal chicken breast - 200 grams, diced
• Fresh mushrooms (button or cremini) - 100 grams, sliced
• Chicken broth - 500 ml
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth over low heat and keep it warm.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
4. Stir in the diced Halal chicken breast, cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
5. Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the rice with the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.
6. Begin adding the warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more, continuing this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
7. Once the rice is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve the risotto warm, garnished with additional parsley and Parmesan if desired.
