Easy 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 sweet corn (drained)
200 g grated cheese
20 ml soybean oil

Where to find ingredients

You can find these items at local grocery stores or general merchants. Look for shredded chicken in the refrigerated or deli section, or use cooked chicken breast as a substitute. Grated cheese can be found in the dairy aisle, while canned corn and peas are typically located in the canned goods section.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, add the oil, the crushed garlic, and the beef bouillon cube
  2. Sauté the garlic and the bouillon cube 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 the grains are coated in the seasonings
  4. Pour the boiling water into the pot and add salt to taste
  5. Stir everything together
  6. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the rice has absorbed almost all the water and starts to look dry
  7. Once the water has mostly evaporated, turn the heat down to the lowest setting
  8. Add the drained sweet corn, peas, and the shredded chicken to the pot
  9. Mix gently to incorporate the ingredients into the rice
  10. Add a little more boiling water if the rice still feels firm or the mixture looks too dry
  11. Cook over low heat with the pot partially covered until the rice is tender
  12. Once the risotto is ready and has reached the desired consistency, turn off the heat
  13. Sprinkle the grated cheese and the chopped green onions or parsley over the top before serving
