Savor the creamy comfort of Risotto al Pollo e Broccoli – it’s a delightful Italian dish that brings warmth to your dinner table tonight!

1

Start by heating the chicken broth in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat.

2

Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

3

In a separate large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.

5

Now, add the chicken cut into bite-sized pieces to the pan. Sauté until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

6

Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously to coat the rice with oil.

7

Add one cup of warm chicken broth to the rice and stir. Allow it to simmer until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes.

8

Continue adding the broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait for the mixture to absorb most of the liquid before adding more broth. This process should take around 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, while the risotto is cooking, steam the broccoli until it's bright green and tender, about 5 minutes.

10

Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the cooked broccoli, salt, black pepper, and the parmesan cheese. Mix well and remove from heat.

Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, you can garnish with more parmesan cheese.

• Add lemon zest for a refreshing twist.
• Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
• Top with toasted pine nuts for added crunch.

• Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
• Keep the broth warm – adding cold broth will slow the cooking process.
• Don’t rush the adding of the broth; it’s essential for the creamy texture.
