Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any local grocery store or neighborhood supermarket. Look for the canned goods in the pantry aisle, fresh produce in the vegetable section, and cheese in the dairy cabinet. If you prefer, cooked rotisserie chicken is a great time-saving substitute for the shredded chicken.
Preparation method
- In a large pot, combine the oil, crushed garlic, and the 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 to ensure the grains are coated with the seasoning
- Pour in the boiling water and add salt to taste
- Stir all ingredients together
- Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the rice has absorbed almost all the water and begins to look dry
- Once the water has mostly evaporated, reduce the heat to the lowest setting
- Fold in the drained sweet corn, peas, and the shredded chicken
- Stir gently to evenly incorporate the ingredients into the rice
- Add a little more boiling water if the rice still feels firm or the mixture looks too dry
- Continue to cook over low heat with the lid slightly ajar until the rice is tender
- When the risotto reaches your desired consistency, turn off the heat
- Sprinkle the grated cheese and the fresh green onions or parsley over the top before serving
