1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
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!
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.
