Ingredients

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

Where to find ingredients

All ingredients are available at local supermarkets and neighborhood grocery stores. As a substitute for the rib bouillon cube, you can use any meat-based stock cube or powder available in the pantry section.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, place the oil, the minced garlic, and the rib 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 so the grains are coated in the seasoning.
  4. Pour the boiling water into the pot and season with salt to taste.
  5. Stir everything.
  6. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the rice absorbs almost all the water, starting to dry out.
  7. When the water is almost evaporated, reduce the heat to low.
  8. Add the green corn and peas (both drained) 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 is still hard or the mixture seems too dry.
  11. Let it cook over low heat with the pot partially covered until the rice is tender.
  12. When the risotto is ready and has the desired consistency, turn off the heat.
  13. Sprinkle the grated cheese and the chopped green onions or parsley on top before serving.
