How to Make Baked Chicken Risotto

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Cut 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Place chicken in a large, oven-safe skillet or baking dish and roast for 40 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced) until softened (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add 4 anchovy fillets (finely chopped), 1/2 cup dry white wine, and 4 cups hot chicken stock. Stir to combine.
  7. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Place the chicken back on top of the rice mixture.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and creamy.
  10. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest. Divide the risotto among bowls.
  11. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup heavy cream into the risotto. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Slice the chicken and serve over the risotto. Garnish with fresh parsley and your choice of roasted vegetables.
