Risotto with chicken and mushrooms

Ingredients:

       400g/14oz arborio risotto rice

glasses of white wine

1 litre hot vegetable stock

2 onions, sliced

300g mushrooms

2 chicken breasts

2 cloves of garlic

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp chopped fresh basil

1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

olive oil, for frying

Method:

1. Cut the chicken breasts into pieces and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and thyme. Heat the oil in a frying pan and place the chicken breasts. Fry the chicken breasts on both sides until lightly browned.
2. In the other pot fry mushrooms with 1 onion. Season with salt and pepper as well.  When mushrooms will be ready sprinkle with parsley.

3.      The next step is heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until soft add garlic. Add the rice and stir well, then add the wine and simmer until reduced completely. Add a good ladleful of the hot stock and stir continuously. When all this has been absorbed, add more stock. Continue adding more stock, stirring continuously, until the rice is cooked. Then season with basil

4. When the rice is soft add a bit of cold butter. Thanks to it our dish will become velvety.
5. Add the chicken and mushrooms, mix everything and season to taste.
