Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 lb chicken breast, diced

  2. 1 cup Arborio rice

  3. 4 cups chicken broth

  4. 1 cup spinach, chopped

  5. 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

  6. 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

  7. 1/2 cup white wine (optional)

  8. 2 tbsp olive oil

  9. Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  • In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook chicken until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  • Add Arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes to coat the rice in the oil.

  • Gradually add chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding more.

  • Once the rice is cooked (about 20-25 minutes), stir in spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until spinach is wilted.

  • Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.

 

  • Serve warm for a comforting, hearty meal!


Notes

  • You can add the optional white wine to enhance the flavor of the risotto.

 

  • If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, you can substitute with roasted red peppers for a different flavor profile.
