Method For hicken Risotto
Add one tablespoon oI olive oil to the Irying pan, add
the chicken pieces and cook on a medium heat until the
chicken is cooked through. This should take about Iive
minutes.
Stir the chicken whilst cooking to ensure it's evenly
cooked. When done, place the chicken to one side.



Add the remaining two tablespoons oI olive oil to the
pan and turn the heat to low. Add the onions, garlic and
sweet peppers.
Fry at a low heat Ior 10 minutes stirring the ingredients
Irequently. The idea is to soIten the onions and peppers
without burning them.

When the ingredients are soItened, add the cooked
chicken and Iry Ior a Iurther two minutes.
Now add the risotto rice and Iry Ior another two minutes
stirring constantly. Make sure the rice is coated with the
olive oil. Add the saIIron.



Add the wine and stir. When the wine has been absorbed
by the rice add a ladleIul oI the chicken stock. Each time
the stock is absorbed, add another ladleIul. When all the
stock has been added and absorbed, the rice should be
moist but will "stack up" as shown in the picture.
This process will take about 25 minutes.

Add the Irozen peas and continue cooking Ior 2
minutes.
Now add the butter and parmesan cheee. Add salt and
pepper to taste and stir well Ior 30 seconds. Remove the
risotto Irom the heat and leave it to stand (covered with
a lid or plate).
