1

Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until it's translucent.

2

Next, mince 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 minute, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.

3

Cut 2 pieces of chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and season them with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, around 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

4

In the same skillet, add 1 cup of arborio rice, stirring to coat it with the remaining oil for about 2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

5

Begin adding 4 cups of warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time. Stir frequently, allowing the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. This should take roughly 18 to 20 minutes.

6

While the rice cooks, prepare a small bowl with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water. This will help thicken the risotto if needed.

7

When the rice is al dente and creamy, add back the chicken, 1 cup of peas, and mix well. Stir in 0.5 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter for extra creaminess.

8

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a thicker risotto, add the cornstarch mixture and stir until well combined.

9

Remove from heat and let it sit for 2 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan if desired.
