Ingredients
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 2 chicken breast diced
- 1 cup pumpkin canned, puree
- 4 cups chicken broth
- ½ onion diced
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- In a separate pot, simmer the chicken broth over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic over medium heat until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pan with the onion and garlic. Stir continuously for 1 minute to lightly toast the rice and coat it in the oil.
- Gradually add ½ cup of the warm chicken broth to the rice, stirring frequently until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding ½ cup of broth at a time, stirring until absorbed and the rice becomes creamy.
- After 15 minutes of cooking the rice, stir in the pumpkin puree and cooked chicken. Continue adding broth and stirring frequently until the rice is tender and creamy, about 5-10 more minutes.
- Once the rice is fully cooked and creamy, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix well.
- Taste the risotto and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
- Enjoy your comforting, creamy chicken pumpkin risotto!
