Three-words that have the power to make us swoon: “I made risotto.” We use an easy simmering technique that’ll help you whip up a restaurant-worthy risotto in your own kitchen. Creamy rice, tender mushrooms, Parmesan, garlic, and fresh thyme—if that doesn’t make you weak in the knees, we don’t know what will.

Instructions

Step 1
1

Wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Halve, peel, and finely chop onion. Peel and finely chop garlic. Strip thyme leaves from stems; roughly chop leaves until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). In a large liquid measuring cup or bowl, combine stock concentrates with 4 cups hot water (7 cups for 4).

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until cooked through, 6-8 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Heat a drizzle of oil and 1 TBSP butter in same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and chopped thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Stir in rice until slightly translucent, 1 minute.

Add ½ cup stock to pan with rice mixture. Cook, stirring, until liquid has mostly absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock adding ½ cup at a time and stirring until liquid has mostly absorbed—until rice is al dente and mixture is creamy, 25-30 minutes. (Depending on the size of your pan, you may need a little more or a little less liquid. If you run out of stock before the risotto is done, swap in warm water.) Season with salt and pepper.

Once risotto is done, stir in mushrooms, half the cheese, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until combined. Season generously with salt and pepper. Divide between bowls and top with remaining cheese.

Slice chicken crosswise; serve atop risotto.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
