Simple Homemade Rice Risotto

Ingredients

1 bunch of chopped green onions or parsley
200 g shredded chicken
Salt to taste
1.5 liters boiling water
1 can peas (drained)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups white rice
1 beef bouillon cube
1 can corn (drained)
200 g grated cheese
20 ml soy oil

Where to find ingredients

You can find these staples at local markets like WCTC or Surangel’s. Look for chicken in the meat section, canned goods in the pantry aisles, and fresh produce for the aromatics.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, combine the oil, crushed garlic, and the beef bouillon cube.
  2. Sauté the garlic and bouillon in the oil over medium heat until fragrant.
  3. Add the rice to the pot and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring well to ensure every grain is coated in the seasoning.
  4. Pour the boiling water into the pot and season with salt to taste.
  5. Stir the mixture well.
  6. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the rice has absorbed almost all the water and begins to dry out.
  7. Once the water has mostly evaporated, reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
  8. Add the corn, peas (both drained), and the shredded chicken to the pot.
  9. Gently fold the ingredients into the rice to combine.
  10. Add a little more boiling water if the rice is still firm or the mixture seems too dry.
  11. Continue to cook over low heat with the lid partially on until the rice is tender.
  12. Once the risotto is cooked to your desired consistency, turn off the heat.
  13. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and the chopped green onions or parsley before serving.
