Risotto with chicken and frozen vegetables

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Peel the onion and garlic, wash and finely chop.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a deep, large frying pan, heat 5 tbsp. vegetable oil, fry the onion until transparent, add garlic.

3. STEP 3

   

   Fry until golden brown over low heat, stirring.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place in a frying pan and fry lightly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take the frozen vegetable mixture out of the freezer. I like this dish best with a Mexican mixture: bell peppers, carrots, green beans, peas, corn, celery, onions. You can take other options for vegetable mixtures.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add the frozen vegetables to the chicken, mix and fry for 5 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   While the vegetables are frying, rinse the rice, place in a colander, let the water drain and pour into the pan with the chicken and vegetables. Mix. It is better to take round rice, not steamed. Salt (I put 1 level teaspoon), pepper, add a pinch of basil, marjoram, oregano. You can use a mixture of Italian herbs, but my family does not like rosemary, which is present here, and I only use such seasonings.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour in 2 glasses of hot water or broth. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat. Simmer until the rice is cooked, stirring occasionally. Add salt if necessary.

10. STEP 10

    

    It takes me 15-20 minutes for the rice to be completely cooked. When the rice is ready, you can sprinkle with grated hard cheese and stir. You can sprinkle the finished dish with cheese when serving. My family prefers risotto with chicken and vegetables without cheese. Italian cuisine also has this option.
