Ingredients

  • 2 packages {4 pieces} Barber Foods' Broccoli & Cheese Raw Stuffed Chicken Breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 2 cups {about 1lb} Arborio rice {NOTE: you HAVE to use Arborio rice specifically or your rice will not turn to risotto!}
  • ¾ cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 tablespoon fresh parsley

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 375F, and line a baking sheet with foil. Unwrap Barber Foods chicken breasts, and place on the prepared sheet 2 inches apart from each other.
  • When oven is ready, bake for 36-39 minutes. While the chicken bakes, prepare the risotto.
  • Mix the chicken broth and water in a medium pot, set on high heat until boiling, then lower to a simmer and just keep it hot. You will need it soon!
  • In a large nonstick pot, heat the olive oil and garlic cloves over medium-high heat. Cook until fragrant and lightly toasted, then add in the mushrooms. Add in the chicken bouillon cube or season with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Add in ¼ cup of the white wine, and let it cook off and evaporate until it no longer smells like alcohol.
  • Add in the arborio rice, and stir so it's evenly coated with the olive oil and veggie mixture.
  • Let it toast for 1-2 minutes, then add in the remaining ½ cup of white wine, and let it cook off once again.
  • Now, grab a ladle, and start adding in the warm chicken broth we heated earlier. Start with 3-4 ladlefuls, stirring vigorously, then continue adding the rest one ladle at a time as the risotto absorbs the liquid.
  • Keep adding the liquids until risotto is creamy and tender to the taste (no crunch!) without being overly mushy.
  • When risotto is finished cooking, remove from heat, and stir in the butter and grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle some parsley on top for garnish
  • Serve immediately with the Barber Foods broccoli & cheese chicken!
