Where to find ingredients
Ingredients can be found at local supermarkets in the spices, meat, and vegetable sections. Fresh herbs like cebolinha or salsinha can be picked up at local markets or produce aisles. Stock up on rice, chicken, and canned vegetables from grocery stores.
Preparation method
- In a large pot, heat the soybean oil, minced garlic, and the chicken stock cube.
- Refreeze the garlic and stock cube in the oil over medium heat until fragrant.
- Add the rice to the pot and saute for about 2 minutes, stirring well to coat the grains in the seasoning.
- Pour the boiling water into the pot and season with salt to taste.
- Mix everything together.
- Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the rice absorbs almost all the water and starts drying out.
- When the water is nearly dry, reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
- Add the canned corn and peas (both drained) and the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Gently stir to combine the ingredients with the rice.
- Add a little more boiling water if the rice is still hard or the mixture seems too dry.
- Cook on low heat with the lid ajar until the rice is tender.
- Once the risotto has reached the desired consistency and is cooked through, turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle grated cheese and chopped chives or parsley on top before serving.
