Preparation method
- In a large pot, add the oil, crushed garlic, and the beef rib bouillon cube.
- Sauté the garlic and bouillon in the oil over medium heat until fragrant.
- Add the rice to the pot and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring well so the grains are coated in the seasoning.
- Pour the boiling water into the pot and season with salt to taste.
- Stir everything together.
- Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the rice has absorbed almost all the water and starts to dry out.
- When the water has nearly evaporated, reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
- Add the corn and peas (both drained) and the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Mix gently to incorporate the ingredients into the rice.
- Add a little more boiling water if the rice is still firm or the mixture seems too dry.
- Continue cooking over low heat with the pot partially covered until the rice is tender.
- Once the risotto is ready and reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese and chopped green onions or parsley on top before serving.
