Many sources classify risotto as haute cuisine, but it is quite easy to make classic risotto at home. To make it work, it is important to choose the right rice. For chicken risotto, we used carnaroli, but it can be replaced with arborio.

How to cook Risotto with chicken

Step 1

Fry the vegetables in heated olive oil until golden brown. Add the chicken fillet and fry for another 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add rice to the pan and continue to fry everything together for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Then pour in white wine and evaporate the alcohol for 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low and add 100g of water (or broth). Simmer until the water evaporates. Then add another 100g and continue to simmer until evaporated.

Step 4

Season the risotto with salt, pepper, add butter and mix well.

Step 5

Place on a serving plate and sprinkle with grated cheese.

Risotto with chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute white wine in the risotto recipe?

Yes, you can replace white wine with extra broth or a splash of lemon juice for acidity. Avoid vinegar as it can be too strong.

How long can I store leftover risotto in the fridge?

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth to restore creaminess.

How can I make this risotto vegetarian?

Skip the chicken and use vegetable broth. Add mushrooms or tofu for extra protein and umami flavor.

What’s the best way to reheat risotto without drying it out?

Reheat on the stovetop over low heat with a little broth or water, stirring frequently until warmed through.

Can I freeze this risotto for later use?

Yes, freeze in airtight containers for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat with broth to refresh the texture.

What cheese works best for garnishing this risotto?

Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, or Grana Padano are classic choices, but any hard, flavorful grated cheese will work.

How can I make this recipe lower in carbs?

Replace rice with cauliflower rice, but note the texture will be different. Cook cauliflower rice for less time to avoid mushiness.

What sides pair well with this chicken risotto?

Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread for a balanced meal.
