Chicken Mushroom And Caramelized Onion Risotto Food

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH RISOTTO AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions and saute for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the onions are a dark golden brown. Remove from heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the rice and mix well. Let heat for about 2 minutes, then pour in the wine. Reduce heat to medium low and start pouring in the broth about 1 cup at a time. Add more broth as each cup is absorbed. Continue in this manner until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the reserved onion mixture and allow to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish each serving with fresh thyme.

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a large pot heat oil and add mushrooms and chicken and cook through until cooked. Remove from pot.
• Using the same pot, add butter and saute onions and garlic in butter and leftover oil mixture until translucent. Add the rice and stir until the rice turns opaque - about two minutes.
• Add the wine, salt and pepper to the rice and stir frequently until the wine has been absorbed into the rice.
• Add 1/2 cup of the heated chicken stock and stir frequently until absorbed. The rice and broth should bubble gently.
• Continue to cook the rice, adding chicken stock 1/2 cup at a time and allowing the rice to absorb it before adding the next 1/2 cup.
• Cook rice this way until tender which should take about 25-30 minutes.
• Just before the last batch of stock has been absorbed into the rice, add the chicken and mushroom mixture back into the pot. Stir through.
• Add 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, the parsley and the cream and stir through.
• Remove from heat when all the remaining stock has been absorbed and the risotto mix is a thick creamy consistency.
• Serve immediately. The remaining parmesan can be added to each serve if requested.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND CARAMELIZED ONION RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. When shimmering, add onion, garlic and mushrooms. Turn heat down to medium-low and saute slowly, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, stir well and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a saucepan over medium heat. When shimmering, add rice. Stir until rice turns opaque. Add white wine and simmer until nearly dry. Add chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently, waiting until each addition is nearly absorbed before adding the next. Continue adding hot broth until rice is fully cooked, about 40-45 minutes.
• Stir onions into rice. When heated through, remove from heat and add butter and chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with thyme and parmesan cheese before serving.

CHICKEN BREASTS W/MUSHROOMS & CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts with seasoned salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet then add the breasts.
• Brown the breasts on medium heat on both sides, transfer to a baking dish and put into a 350°F oven to finish cooking.
• In the same skillet add another tbsp of oil and add the onions; sauté until translucent.
• Add a couple teaspoons of sugar and the red wine (optional) and sauté until the onions become caramelized.
• Set onions aside.
• Sauté the mushrooms in the skillet.
• Remove the breasts from the oven and spoon some of the caramelized onions atop each one, then spoon some sautéed mushrooms on each. Finally, sprinkle some blue cheese over the mushrooms and place under the broiler for a couple minutes until the cheese becomes slightly browned.
• Serve the breasts on a nest of angel hair pasta or bed of wild rice or couscous.

RISOTTO WITH CHICKEN AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large, heavy saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and leeks and saute until the onions turn golden brown (about 15 minutes).
• Add the Madeira to deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook over medium-high heat to reduce the liquid by half.
• In another saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a gentle simmer and maintain over low heat.
• Add 1 cup of the simmering stock to the onion mixture and continue cooking over medium-high heat until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is quite thick (about 15 minutes longer). Set aside.
• While the onions simmer, in another large heavy saucepan, heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and stir until each grain is well coated with oil and translucent with a white dot in the center (about 3 minutes).
• Add the simmering stock a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently after each addition. Wait until the stock is almost completely absorbed (but the rice is never dry on top) before adding the next ladelful. Save 1/4 cup of stock to add at the end.
• When the rice is tender to the bite but slightly firm in the center and looks creamy (about 20 minutes), stir in the chicken. Cook to heat through, about 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, caramelized onion mixture, and reserved 1/4 cup of stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve at once.

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large pan. Add the lardons and fry for 5 mins over a low-medium heat. Stir in the onion and fry for 10 mins more until the onion is soft but not coloured.
• Stir in the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring, for 5 mins. Stir in the risotto rice and cook over a medium heat for 2 mins until the rice has started to turn translucent.
• Pour in the wine and allow it to bubble away over the heat. Pour in a quarter of the chicken stock and set a timer for 20 mins.
• Continue cooking, stirring very frequently, topping up with a splash more stock as it gets absorbed - this is best done in three more stages, until the rice is cooked and most of the stock has been absorbed (you may not need all the stock). The texture now should be creamy, like rice pudding.
• Stir through the chicken, warm briefly, then turn off the heat. Stir through the parmesan and parsley, cover and leave to rest for 5 mins to allow more liquid to be absorbed into the rice. Season to taste and serve with extra parmesan, if you like.

PORCINI, CARAMELIZED ONION AND SAGE RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the porcini mushrooms and hot water. Soak for 30 minutes to soften. Drain the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Chop the mushrooms,.
• In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the stock to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and keep the liquid hot.
• In a heavy medium saucepan over medium high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil and saute the onions, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tbls. butter to pan. Add baby bella mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms to pan and cook about 10 more minutes.
• Add the rice and mushrooms(including the chopped porcini mushrooms) to the onions and stir about 1 minute. Add the wine and stir until it is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped sage, the reserved mushroom soaking liquid and 3/4 cup of the stock. Adjust the heat to simmer, so that liquid bubbles and is absorbed slowly. Stir until liquid is absorbed.
• Continue cooking, adding the liquid 3/4 cup at a time and stirring almost constantly, until the rice starts to soften, about 10 minutes.
• Continue cooking, adding liquid 1/2 cup at a time and stirring almost constantly, until rice is just tender but slightly firm in the center and the mixture is creamy, about 10 more minutes.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix well.
• To serve, spoon risotto into a shallow serving bowl.
• Garnish with sage leaves and enjoy!
