Frank Petrone’s Chicken Risotto
Ingredients:
- 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 300g Arborio rice (Vialone Nano or Carnaroli can be used as alternatives)
- 100ml white wine
- 1 litre chicken stock (full-bodied flavour, Golden Rooster recommended)
- 50g grated parmesan
- 40g butter, chopped
- 30g chopped parsley
- Olive oil
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Season the chicken thighs and roast until fully cooked.
- Dice the onions and crush the garlic.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil and sauté the diced onions and crushed garlic for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add the rice to the onion mixture and gently warm.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine and allow it to evaporate completely.
- Gradually add boiling chicken stock to the rice mixture, stirring constantly. Wait for the stock to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is fully cooked.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the grated parmesan and chopped butter until well combined.
- Dice the roasted chicken thighs and add them to the risotto along with the chopped parsley.
Note: The quality of the chicken stock is crucial for this recipe. Ensure it has a rich, full-bodied flavour.
