I can’t believe how long it’s been since we’ve made risotto – it seems like we used to make it all the time. This recipe is for a creamy version that’s delicious and easy to make. Like most good things in the kitchen, it just takes a little time and patience.
In a deep skillet, over medium heat, saute:
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 small Onion, diced
When Onions begin to soften, stir in:
1 Cup Arborio Rice
Continue stirring until rice is lightly browned
Add 4 Cups Chicken Broth in 1 Cup increments, stirring until almost completely absorbed in between additions.
Then stir in:
1 Cup White Wine (We used Vouvray because we had an open bottle.)
1 Bunch Fresh Asparagus, cut diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces
2 Cups Cooked Chicken, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 Tablespoon Capers
1 teaspoon Sunny Paris Seasoning
Salt and Pepper, to taste
When liquid is absorbed, and vegetables and chicken are headted through, finish with:
1/4 Cup Cream
1/2 Cup Parmesan, shredded
Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
Stir before serving.
Stir before serving.

Risotto is getting higher and higher on my list of ‘must cook’ foods. Yours sounds delicious. I love the birds! They look like a gaggle of women who are pursing their lips with contempt at being disturbed!

Hi Susan, I love risotto and your pairing of chicken with asparagus sounds delicious! Besides, cooking with wine makes almost anything good :). I see in another post that you mentioned growing up in Italy – lucky you! It’s my dream to move there long-term and always fun for me to meet others who share my love of Italy. Have a great weekend!
