How to make Creamy risotto with mushrooms and chicken breast

Usually Arborio is used for cooking — this is the most popular rice. You can find it on store shelves as rice for risotto. Why him? The thing is that Arborio is more starchy than other rice — this is what gives the dish a creamy texture.

For risotto, it is best to use a wide shallow frying pan, as this allows you to cook rice more evenly.
This version with chicken and mushrooms turns out to be as creamy as a traditional dish.

Step-by-step recipe

1.	Prepare all the ingredients. Separate the breast from the skin, rinse. Cut into 1 — 1.5 cm pieces.
2.	Fry the sliced mushrooms until light golden brown in olive oil. Transfer the mushrooms from the pan to a plate, set aside.
3.	In the same pan, fry the chicken pieces in olive oil over medium heat. Cook until it is browned.
4.	Add onion, garlic (the latter optional) for ~ 3 minutes, without adding heat. Turn on a high heat, add the rice and fry for 1 minute, no longer.
5.	Now you can add wine. Cook until the alcohol has completely evaporated ~ 1.5-2 minutes, stirring.
6.	Turn on medium heat. Add politer chicken broth. Stir once. After a while, pour in the remaining broth.
7.	Towards the end, add fried mushrooms and a piece of butter to the rice. Stir vigorously.
8.	Now you can serve it to the table. If desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan and garnish with herbs. Bon Appetit!
